Charlie Patierno aka Charles L. P.

About Me

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosphy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." - Ludwig van Beethoven
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/14/2005
Band Members:

Playing drums and percussion Philly/NY and beyond. I compose music traditionally and I produce as well. I am truly fortunate to be workin with some great minds and have a good span of stuff bubblin. I love what I do and what you hear above is bits of just that.
Came up with my homies in Subliminal Orphans- a hip hop fusion of sorts since 2002 playing shows from Philly and nationally, opened for acts such as K-OS and toured w/ Cypress Hill. Now on hiatus, working closely w Tuphace and Orphans crew on various projects.
Work/have worked with amazing and inspiring people including Melody Gardot, Patty Crash, Jef Lee Johnson, The Roots and camp, Ritz, Phat Boi, Ross Bellenoit, tu phace, Phil Roy, Olive Dance Theatre, Chosen Dance Co., Maurice Chestnut & Savion Glover, Highbrid, From Tha Hip, John Francis, Tuphace, keen, Eric Bobo, Ritz, Brazilian band "Minas.", The Blue Method, Lady Alma, Back2Basics band, Young Chris, Peedi Crack, Dice Raw, J*Davey (they are the shit, go listen to them right now)

If music expresses, feels good, and is enjoyable to create and equally enjoyable to experience, then whatever the genre, its doing something right. We are amidst a grand fusion of cross-genres and production tequniques. So much has been done before, let us be influenced by the masters before us, embrace the rampidity of technology and create beautifully in the now.
Influences:
studio music video jawn for upcoming single. Full making of record doco on www.melodygardot.co.uk
Live in studio in LA Worrisome Heart for PBS.

Be sure to check out GET BUSY feat. black thought, peedi crack, dice raw, and DJ Jazzy Jeff offa The Roots April 29th release of Rising Down.
