Music Spotlight: Bambooman & Heart Drive 03

I'm going to do a post like this whenever I discover a new musical artist I like, or something similar.

Bambooman

I heard this guy's music in a lecture at Uni last week, and I was very impressed. He was apparently going to present the lecture himself, since he's an alumnus of my University, but unfortunately he lost his confidence to do so; the usual lecturer did it instead. But anyway, he's got a production style that's very influenced by electro-acoustic music and has a lot of percussion based from found sounds. He also tunes to non-western scales using just intonation, which gives his melodies and harmonies an exotic sound. If you don't know what any of that means, have a listen:

And he's also done production for a singer/songwriter called Segilola. I think this song in particular is simply lovely:

Here's a link to his EP "Hollowed", and Segilola's EP "Somewhere Along The Line".

Really digging Bambooman! Thanks for sharing. I hate to start comparing artist bu it really reminded me of Bop or Mindspan. I only listened to this two (three I suppose) song you put there but I'll probably be getting the album very soon.

I also really liked Segilola so I'll have to check that out as well.

Module Eight was good but I think Empathy Reboot is still my favorite so far.
