Kalpataru Tree :: Live at Priceless
Posted by Crispy | Filed under Music
I am absolutely loving this live set by Ashland, OR based Kalpataru Tree. An hour and a half of dank, lush psydub, with strong resemblances to Phutureprimitve and hints of Shpongle, Ott and Kuba. That’s four home runs in my book… no wonder I like this so much! I have got to get this man up for a Chillography set. That would be absolutely divine.
From Fluid Motion:
“Recorded live @ Priceless, Belden Town, CA. Priceless is an annual event put together by the False Profit crew out of the Bay Area. Held on the banks of a beautiful river, Priceless is a camp out filled with beats, breaks, swimming, beaching and art. This set was recorded Midnight – 1:30am, Saturday, September 27th. This set was followed by Androcell, making a night of Deep, Dubby, Dreamy music in the Chill Dome.
85 Percent of the music in this mix is material yet to be released. Some of it could be released as “Kembwe” a side project with Vocalist Wahkeena Sitka Tidepool Ripple www.myspace.com/kembwe. Other Tracks should appear on a new album which I’m thinking should be released sometime in 2009, with the tenative name of “Preverberations from the Infinite Future”. Some tracks are on myspace, www.myspace.com/kalpatarutree. I’m still looking for the right label to release my stuff, so if you’re a label person and you like my sound – please contact me!

Crispy at Salutations to the Soul

Recorded at the Salutations to the Soul fundraiser party on June 27, 2009 at the Transcendent Church of Bass, this mix begins with a glitched out Michael Jackson tribute by ArK47, and moves into a solid psydub groove with my usual blend of effects and samples to spice things up.
