Love & Light by Maxx Vaxx Music BMI

Love & Light
by Max Vasquez
From the new album “Dawning of the Light Ages II: Moment of the First Ray”

This composition is an original in the Downtempo/ Shoegaze/ Acid Jazz Ambient hybrid fused with modern Electronic Music styles. The inspiration for “Love & Light” came from Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, Miles Davis and Hugh Masakela and Electronic Music groups like Banco De Gaia and Enigma.

All sounds including trumpet and piano solo by Max Vasquez. The methods used to make this song include plugin virtual synthesizers, some commercial, some custom made. Absolutely no presets were used in the making. All sounds are individually reprogrammed or made from scratch, even the trumpet and piano were “tweaked”. This tune was begun in 2007, put aside for a bit, and completed in 2011. Written, arranged, mixed mastered and performed by Max Vasquez in its entirety.

As the song kept growing, I started hearing more Zawinul in it and added the piano solo towards the end of the sessions. The trumpet parts were also added near completion, and EQ’d to simulate a flugelhorn sound. I like to think, or at least hope that Miles is smiling wherever he may be, as I carry the torch into expanding his vision of where Jazz sub-genres are going. All the while, expanding the Electronic Dance Music’s influence on Jazz and vice versa.

The rest of the songs on “Dawning of the Light Ages II: Moment of the First Ray”, http://tinyurl.com/DawningStore, are ecclectic and mind expanding journeys into imagination through sound. I hope readers will click on the play button below and enjoy “Love & Light”, from my first solo album in almost six years! I wish you peace and joy…
