About Me |
|
| Often a few beats off the path, my compositions are an amalgamation of all I find desirable in music. Taking standard theory that might be applied to any classic, infusing jazz, and wrapping the result around funk rhythms, I end up with a flux of fusion as my moniker. I believe in a depth that is not an invitation of complexity, but rather a metaphysical interpretation achievable to any listener. Through a spread of tones and rhythms, a melody is kindled. As you listen, you will find what you expect even if you’re surprised by what you find. Creating a scene here on the wire is a small pocket of my works. --jason sturges jason@jasonsturges.com http://www.jasonsturges.com Jason Sturges live at Unity Unplugged (Special thanks to Sarah and John) Here are some samples from my catalog: |
