About the Album

This album brings the minimalist characteristic of metallophone with futuristic synthesizers focusing on my old-school drumming. I use a 26 "bass drum, a replica from the 1920s, and in this track i play it with drumsticks in a "jungle beat" rhythm. This kind of beat was played for the first by Duke Ellington's drummer, Sonny Greer. Also, i use a cowbell, woodblock and "greeko cymbal" fills in a Blade Runner atmosphere. This album is also available on Spotify, Google Play, etc.
