Album Notes

This is Johnny Katchoolik's first all-instrumental album, featuring 15 tracks that will make your mind go "wheee!" The way the tracks are laid out in the album is more like a 3-course meal. The album starts out with an appetizer of tunes that will ease you into the Katchoolik groove. They are filled with light but flavorful percussion sounds, inspired by Katchoolik's taste for world music. Then, you are whisked to a different dimension, where your mind is challenged with various experimental sounds and rhythms. The percussion, fretless bass, and guitars give wings to your mind. Finally, the sonic journey winds down with a few mellow and more contemplative tunes that are designed to help you decompress and relax your mind as you continue your day. This album is about being fun, adventurous, avant-garde, carefree, quirky, imaginative, and original. As a musician, Johnny thrives on playing what hasn't been played. Are your wings of mind ready for the sonic flight?
***********
Johnny Katchoolik is an indie musician of many colors, personalities, sounds, and eccentricities. His passion for music began at the impressionable age of a toddler. He started out on the guitar but quickly picked up the bass, keyboard, and various other electronic & software instruments. He enjoys breaking the rules and crossing the boundaries. Although he has jammed with many musicians and performed with various bands over the years, his real music playground has always been the studio – the only place where his quirky ideas and offbeat tunes can be surgically extracted from his cerebral cortex.

fantastic album! worth every penny!
author: Andy G.
I have listened to a lot of indie and maninstream music, but this album is now stuck in my mind like no other. It's truly unique and refreshing! From jazz to electronic and acoustic - Johnny channels the genius and spirits of Miles and Zappa. It's one of the few albums that I can enjoy over and over again. Nothing in this album is extraneous. The sound quality is also one of the best I have heard among thousands of indie albums out there. Great packaging & album design! Love the turtle CD! Even my kid was impressed. If you want music that challenges your mind, this is the perfect album for some mind-bending fun!
