If you have visited this site before, you will have gathered by now, we are partial to analog synth pulses. These tracks are… it is early morning here and the mist is rolling in off the sea, enveloping the sand, the luscious damp hills and the rooftops below. We are being wrapped gently in a cloud like blanket. ‘Let Go’.
These are beautifully produced tracks, the fragile vocals (sometimes like whispers) purr and seduce.
Our house is completely swathed in an ethereal fog and the seagulls are calling over ‘Dragons I Have Slain’. This is the beginnings of a great day.
Though T. Austin Reed’s roots stem from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the essence of her music often features diversities of a worldwide flavor. From Electronica to Dark Wave to Hip-Hop, R&B and Rock, this Producer/Artist/Performer refuses to limit her creative ability within the confines of any one particular genre. She’ll be quick to say, “I don’t live in a box. Neither does my music.” With the exception of brief training in classical piano by Monette Sudler and the late John Gilmore (of Sun Ra and His Arkestra), T. Austin is a self-taught composer who loves to defy stereotypical images that have overshadowed females within the Music Industry.
“I used to watch guys come into studios and walk past me like I didn’t exist,” she’ll admit. “Some even thought I was just another studio whore. But after I’d get pointed out as being a producer, I could see their attitudes change…And so would mine. I never enjoyed moments like those, but they happened all the time. Not anymore.”
Current projects include collaborations with 949, Aja Lorraine, Ty Showers, Wax Murdererz, Ladder, and Jay Sparxx. Stay tuned. This is only the beginning…
