as i say my music is a soundscape fusing all my roots in music i started playing as a boy with a clasical training then found that to limiting so went on to play in all genres now i play all the instruments write and produce all my own material somtimes using soulfull vocalists to infuse my words with meaninfull emotions somtimes just letting the music do its own thing mixing live solos with loops live drums and percusion with programs somtimes and acoustic soulfull vocal the next rack a fusion of electronics and jazzy solos using affro/latin rythems mixing aisian vocals and percusion with western beats as a true indipendent i have no label or managment telling me what to do or play so i can and do just let my imagination drift as my own engineer and producer i can spend all day just perfecting a sound till im truly satisfied the only criteria in my world is to be true
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
Donald Dean (who goes by Dean) is the epitome of ‘multi talented.’ Not just an incredibly creative and original fine artist with a special interest in God's creatures but a classically trained musician who has gotten himself ingeniously ‘sorted’ (as we Brits are want to say) to the point of writing his own eclectic material, playing all the instruments and engineering and producing the work entirely himself! Dean’s new album BEYOND is a clever mix of ambient, world instrumentals with cool vocal textures featuring Asian and African influences as well as loops and live drums and exciting imagery… in artistic terms it’s a veritable soundscape within a landscape. Standout tracks include the sonic al fresco, “The Price We Pay,” the jungle jazz of “Serengeti” and the SmoothJazz.com hot pick, “Life in the City” with a soulful, urbane groove and vocals. Dean’s BEYOND is the perfect companion to his contemporary artwork… don’t miss it, you’ll find his paintings at DeansMusicArt.co.uk Read more...
