electro jazz fusion - know wot i mean ...

About Me

K-Scope has been my project for quite a few years now releasing tunes mainly on Earth and Cookin' Records. I write and produce from my own small studio set up, generally getting the tune and vibe down then bringing in any live elements to add some of the organic flavour that I love to hear in there. As a live band we play the material pretty true to form but it is an interpretation rather than a reproduction of the original. I think that works well though cos it keeps it real and allows us to play around with the arrangement and improvise when we feel like it too. Right now I'm trying to finish producing some new tunes with vocals - we have tried them live and they've been well received so I'm looking forward to getting them out there.
