SOUNDS
|
Bob is into
groovy side of things. The music that he produces is a mixture of
Hip-Hop,
Jazz, Soul and Funk. As a kid he was into Rolling Stones as many of us.
He
also went through R&B where he picked up the rhythm and then
californian surf
wave with Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Janes Addiction, especially funky
side
of things filled with an adrenaline. Moved into Jazz where Miles did a
strong
impact on him with "In A Silent Way" and "Miles In The Sky". After that
everything turned around. Lot of new names started inspiring him: Eric
Truffaz,
James Carter, Buckshot Lefonque, Medeski Martin & Wood, Bugge
Wesseltoft...
All that has mixed up with some electro stuff, ambient etc. He is not
pursuing
any of this styles but as he says: If you mix all of them together and
put it in the oven the MINT pie will come out.
