About Me

Jibrail is a Melbourne based amateur musician who plays trumpet and keys, and bass and percussion occasionally. Songs are recorded and processed on a home PC, using samples too. No aspirations to become a professional musician, let alone a star or famous; just having fun with sounds. Also playing keys and vocals with Blackbyrd (www.myspace.com/blackbyrdsong).

Band Members: Jibrail plays all except for 'Random thoughts' which is a collaboration with David Z (of SoupStone) who contributes with some amazing guitar acrobatics, bass, and some intuitive backing vocals.
Influences: A homogenously ecclectic diet of Romanian/Balkanic folk, classical indian (raag), jazz, chorale music, european classical, flamenco, fusion, just about all american black music: blues and spirituals, rhythm'n'blues, soul, funk, nu-soul, (mostly east-coast) hip-hop. Love latin-jazz and afro-beat too. Popular music I enjoy listening to: Bowie, David Sylvian, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, Fela Kuti, Black Crowes, the Roots, Public Enemy, D'Angelo, Bilal, Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, Irakere, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Billie Holiday, Camaron, Chet Baker, to name a few...
