  • Arkestra One – I Really Want You

    Chilled, downtempo, elegant, lush are words that come to mind when you listen to Arkestra One.   This album would sit nicely in the collected company of Koop, Nicola Conte, Waldeck and Thievery Corporation.   The entire album is something you would play late at night with a drink in hand.

    Short Bio courtesy of last.fm:

    Arkestra One are a duo composed by two “British immigrants”, Matthew Timoney (producer) and Nina Miranda (vocalist).   They perform a beat-heavy version of Brazilian pop (Nina comes from Brazil) with a good electronic component.   Their project started with a self-titled debut album in late 2002.

    And for the inspiring musicians out there, this is what Matthew uses to create these landscapes:

    Technics 1210 / Vinyl manipulation / addiction; Rhodes stage 73 electric piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, Akai/EMU samplers, Rhythm machine drumbox, Korg MS20, Moog Sonic Six, Hammond B3 organ, Vibraphone, Roland space echo 501 tape delay, Watkins copycat tape del7

    This track is taken off of Arkestra One’s self titled 2002 release.
