$.99 Dreams (ninety-nine cent dreams) was formed in Brooklyn in 2007 by drummer Matt Crane and saxophonist, synth player Adam Diller to develop the area between hip-hop and free-jazz. They build the music from layers of live overdubs using drums, analog synth, horns, strings, and percussion.- Adam Diller: sax, synth, production
- Matt Crane: drums, synth, percussion
Earlier today, I received the following message from $.99 Dreams, and I already checked it out. If you're in to some free jazz on a dub, trip-hop rhythm, this one's for you as well.
from $.99 dreams :
If Sun Ra conducted a group of Ethiopians playing afro-cuban Xenakis pieces that were produced by DJ Premier, you would have a solid idea of what the new .99 DREAMS album sounds like. A powerful amalgamation of disparate sources; hip hop, funk, jazz, punk, 20th century classical, free jazz--this new slab tickles your earholes, soothes your synapses, and greases your feet. Check it out for free and see if you agree.
Peace,
.99 Dreams
