about

Sometimes when you eat a ton and then there's dessert, you want something a helluva lot lighter than a 10 inch high slice of double fudge chocolate cake. For Dessert Sessions Volume 0, these jams are just like the fresh fruit and whipped cream they are named after: light and easy to digest, (mostly) good for you, and RAW.

If you are looking for an album where million$ were spent in a painstaking process with tons of complicated layers and overdubs, this is NOT it. In fact, there isn't a single overdub on this whole album.

All songs were conceived on the spot with no prior planning or writing, they're very much live off the floor. There is very little compression added, helping to give it a more realistic and in your face live sound. In a way, it's all like an official live-from-the-studio bootleg. There's a mite exception of a few DJ style cut ups and interludes- though these had to be worked off of what was there only, and only by re-arranging or reducing, not adding. There are also some post edits and some mastering (this is all what I would consider the 'whipped cream').

On some tracks there are as few as two musicians, at times even one! It's also pretty much all instrumental, so you can't complain about a bad singer. I think it's great music to put on in the background while you work or do learnin'. Or perhaps while you make duct tape shorts, worship a Jesus tortilla, or hunt for UFO's.

This is kind of an experiment in a way. A study in soul power. A venture towards seeing whether you really do need fancy equipment, countless hours, a drained bank account, and a gazillion players to make 'good' music. Although what I have learned in the process is that even this attempt at utter simplicity demanded some significant energy and devotion..so I can all the more appreciate some of those more complexly delivered albums out there.

Keep in mind forthcoming Dessert Sessions will naturally move towards more filling desserts, meaning more layers, maybe actual singing, etc. Because that has a place too, but for now, enjoy the auditory expression of the minimalist's manifesto that is 'Fresh Fruit & Whipped Cream'. Happy End Of The World!

about

Dessert Sessions Collective Ontario, California

This is not the Desert Sessions! This is a parody/tribute. You may dig it just as much though. It's still really trippy stuff to groove to, and is made in the same spirit of random friends coming together in different configurations, and improvising tunes, then releasing them. Enjoy. ... more
