about
The composition of this track actually began in the middle of the pandemic. One night, after spending a lot of time cooking coq au vin, I sat down at my Oberheim Matrix-12 and began writing this tune. For the longest time I just gave it the title “Coq Au Vin,” staying within the tradition of food titles from my last two albums. But, I ended up changing the title to “Bloom” after it was finished. It’s much more apt for how the song sounds and develops. Hadrien Feraud and Adam Jackson’s playing on the recording is phenomenal. I really love the process of creating mostly electronic music and then bringing in top-tier instrumentalists to bring the whole thing to life. The intersection of electronic and acoustic material is where I find joy these days. The track pays homage to the fusion styles of the 70s but clearly has a strong footing in the present.

The Funky Knuckles have come out with their Senior Album bringing their tasty improvisations to a new plateau! Everybody brought in amazing results but special shoutout to Wes who put out some of the finest bass work on this album! Props to the whole band on a mouth watering closing on the Bombastic Groovy Acid Fusion Suite Digital Compromise where I had my face melted and sold to the finest chef for how thoroughly cured it was by this album. Second fave is Stormcrow. Dylan Slattery
