The "Recomposition" project began back in 2004 with the idea of crafting original music around existing acapella lyrics and melodies. The desire was to stretch the bounds of hip-hop and rap by introducing musical concepts and elements that aren't normally present in the genre, and to use as much live instrumentation as possible. The songs explore a wide range of musical cultures, including bluegrass, rock, classical, jazz, and country influences, but all remain true to their hip-hop roots. In the end, it's all about crafting original music to support the artists' existing lyrics and musical voice.
I hope you enjoy what you hear, and please be sure to keep in touch. Please feel free to add the music to your MySpace page, and spread the word to your friends! I look forward to sharing more music with you over the next few months!
