stick
experimental chapman stick works by jason sturges (audio | video)
often a few beats off the path, my compositions are an amalgamation of all i find desirable in music.
taking standard theory that might be applied to any classic, infusing jazz, and wrapping the result around funk rhythms, i end up with a flux of fusion as my moniker.
i believe in a depth that is not an invitation of complexity, but rather a metaphysical interpretation achievable to any listener. through a spread of tones and rhythms, a melody is kindled. as you listen, you will find what you expect even if you’re surprised by what you find.
creating a scene here on the wire is a small pocket of my works.
