Editor's review
Earth-rooted melodies mesh with strings, woodwinds, and mediums not so easily defined as Gaia13 presses a footprint of trip-hop beats, sporadic experimental rhythms, and heavy-handed funk grooves into the foundation of his music. Uplifting and light as the air at dawn, the sound sphere of the music pours spirituality from an electronic vessel.
Biography
Gaia13 achieves the energy of IDM, downtempo, and drum 'n bass. and yet maintains a mellow vibe with treated instruments, including occasional guitar and vocals. His first album "Life on Planet Earth" was called "the most well produced electronic CD" by Minor Scale Magazine in Saint Louis and his second, "Inside the Star Furnace" remained at the top of the charts on KFJC in California for more than a month in 2003. Gaia13's latest full-length release "The Sea Turtle Project" is an album grounded by complex but consistent percussion and solid bass, and layered with interwoven and transcendent melodies. It's the result of 10 months worth of recording and producing in the studio. "I went in totally new directions with The Sea Turtle Project, meticulously adding rhythmic and melodic elements to songs which I had written and performed over the previous year." At times laid back and peaceful, at times intense, the 16 song Sea Turtle Project is a powerful and always danceable album by one of electronica's unique composers.
