TOTI-002

Chronic Sonata is the sonic experiment of Canadian producers/songwriters Eric Ratz, Domenic Macri and John Gilbert. Not entirely satisfied with the prospects of strictly catering to a genre-driven market, Chronic Sonata endeavored to create and explore unheard soundscapes of organic and synthetic waveforms woven into an aural canvas.

With inspirations spanning the gamut from punk to funk, reggae to rock, and everything in between, the one element that takes precedence in the production style of Chronic Sonata is reggae’s sub-genre dub.

Look for more of Chronic Sonata in 2007, with new tracks, remixes and vinyl already in the works.

TOTI-001

Long Dist. 12″ will be available from Turntable Lab soon.

Long Dist. is a collaborative effort involving three zip codes, two artists, and one vision. MARI and R’s first offering Midway Connect, a 5 song ep, culminates a bi-coastal creation one year in the making. Long Dist. aims at engaging listeners with a sound that interleaves the warmth of R’s west coast voice and Marihoto’s Brooklyn basement backings. As Long Dist.’s first project, Midway Connect serves as a promising introduction to the world offering introspection, soulfulness, and attitude. Midway Connect showcases Long Dist.’s forward movements with style and substance that only a Oakland-Brooklyn pairing could manifest.
