Chris W. Paine
Chris W. Paine is a mixed genre electronic artist who has just released his first solo down-tempo album Weird Conversations. Weird Conversations encompasses down tempo, groove and funk elements. Paine spent 2005 writing the album and cowriting with Justin Pierret and Elise McMullen on a few songs. Paine, Pierret and McMullen have also put out a single in 2005, a remake of "Thriller", under the name Four Peace Island.
Paine explains his writing process. "When I started this project, I wrote 20 songs and made demos. I made discs and had my friends choose their favorites and give me their top ten. Once I had the top ten, I rerecorded them. The end result has so many genres of electronic music. I might have too many sides to music, but it all sounds like me."
Some of Paine's signature sounds take the lead on Weird Conversations. "Blissturbed" showcases the funky distorted clavinets erupting in a danceable house beat. "I intentionally kept guitars off of this song, it's my main instrument and I rely on it a lot. When I wrote "Blissturbed," I made a point to keep any guitar sounds off of the track, " Paine says. Another sound Paine is fascinated with is duo harmony Latin guitars, which makes an appearance on "Flaca." "I love guitar work like Strunz and Farrah or Lara and Reyes. Chris W.
