Jadugara

About Me


Jadugara is an experimental project out of Albuquerque, NM (really out of a closet with padded walls) executed by one Jason Martinez. Jason has been an artist of various forms (i.e. visual, theatrical, poetic) throughout his life though singing has always been his favorite art form, but it wasn’t until winter of 2006 that he began tinkering and producing his own music. In an interview recently by Monty T. Ballpython, who lives in the red-light distric in the corner(of Jason’s apartment), when he asked how Jason would describe the music that is "Jadugara", Jason enthusiastically responded "You’re a snake, you can’t talk!," at which point he fell into a fetal position and muttered incoherently for 3 hours.... clearly that explains it all.

Thank you for listening. Use headphones wisely...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/02/2007
Band Members: Jason Martinez- Vocals, Lyrics, etc.
Influences: Ugh... so many. Chris Corner, Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush, Billie Holiday, Jay Jay Johanson, Emiliana Torrini, Tricky, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bohsle, Gunjan, Hooverphonic, Jaques Brel, Nellie McKay, Shirley Bassey, Gene Pitney, The Knife... sounds around me, the music of the fan blades, music in general
Sounds Like:

Behold the "Dumont" Torsion Remixes. Alex and Pedro of the project "Torsion" capture the meaning of the song and thoroughly enhance the atmosphere in these remixes of Dumont. I think Dumont would be proud! The player has 3 tracks, The Torsion Remix, The Torsion Piano Remix, and the Original "Dumont". :)



I'm proud to be a part of Torsion's latest release on their net-label Public Spaces entitled REdrops. The entire release is available for download at their site Public Spaces

In my vocal mix of Torsion's beautiful work "Sun Drops on the Ocean", my effort was to emulate a boy siren and give a sleepy performance to lull wearied souls to their demise... Hope you enjoy it. I also included in the player, as a bonus of sorts, Torsion's haunting Broken Remix of my vocal take of Sun Drops. Hope you enjoy the listen... sleep well...

Please take the time to listen. Lyrics can be found in my blog entry "REdrops".



Record Label: Unsigned

The MySpace Music player SUCKS!!! It's as if it takes your track and pukes on it before allowing it to be played, or at least that's how it sounds after it compresses the hell out of one's music... fr...
