Wei-Chi - If You Fall (Sky Broken)

#CompostClassics
WEI-CHI is Raoul Walton's vision of a new approach to urban "soulful Computer Jazz” as he so lovingly calls the mixture of classic modal jazz with pop and techno elements, mixed thru the blender of high-power programmers and remixers with vocals by Merit Ostermann.

Album: One I, Two Eyes
Release: 2004 September 20
Cat.-No.: CPT 166-1/-2/-3
Format: LP2 / CD / Digital

Raoul, a musician who has studied with legendaries such as Barry Harris, writes songs the "classical” way, on a piano and with pen and paper. Arranged in a way that could be played by a traditional three-piece combo, with sequenced parts and a bunch of top producers weaving it for the clubs. This unique way of working created a sound is undeniably Wei-Chi !

The majority of tracks on “One I, Two Eyes” have been in co-production with Ben Mono, also laying his hands on programming, providing keyboards and the sound design. His album “Dual” (on Compost CPT 135) has hit the streets with much praise. Another contributing artist is Moonstarr from Canada who is responsible for the future-minded ”New Paradise” which will leave other DJs drooling with elect. Kevin was so turned on by the WEI –CHI sound, he asked Compost boss and executive producer of the record Michael Reinboth to remix the track. Two songs were produced by the masterminds of collage, Beanfield. Their current album “Seek” (CPT 160) is enticing people and a real smasher. The Afro-Funk roller coaster “Light” utilises the dense harmonic vocabulary of John Coltrane, stripped down to the bones and pumping it up in a Hip Hop kinda way whereas the ballad “Pray for Peace” was recorded entirely with acoustic instruments. Then there's Fauna Flash to fulfill your demands and surprise with the fabulous “Faces And Places”. For those who can’t get enough of the lads the third Fauna Flash album is coming up in 2005! No other than Osunlade A.k.A. Jerry Rodriguez from Puerto Rico has taken over“Dream”. And it’s resulting in a potpourri of deepness!
