Jecht Rye is me – the guy who takes all the credit for the music Matt Jones makes. That’s how it has worked for around three years. Before that I would make rap beats under the alias Je Hones, but I deviated from that because I found it unfulfilling to write rap beats for non-existent rappers. I still frequently enter rap remix competitions and will write rap beats should anybody request one, but I no longer make stockroom beats.

Anyway, from Je Hones I evolved into Jecht Rye, whatever that is. I am a producer and pianist, but getting to know bass guitar quite well. I do a bunch of other stuff too but I'm yet to finish the recordings that exhibit me as such. So far I’ve displayed a central tendency towards some kind of instrumental Hip Hop but I’ve not yet revealed everything I intend to, so don’t expect past example to be representative of what’s to come. I just hope people don’t buy into genres rather than music itself.

I also collaborate frequently with a good friend only known to you, quite ominously, as Chris. If I’m not here, you’ll find me on his music.

I use Cubase SX3 with Reason 5 through Rewire, and Adobe Audition 3 to mix. The hardware I use goes like this: M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI keyboard, Akai MPD24 drum machine, a bunch of instruments, and a TonePort UX1 sound card. Any guitar you hear will be Chris. Sometimes even if you don’t hear a guitar it will be Chris; he possesses many talents.

I hope you like what I and who ever joins in do.
