FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, New York--September 29, 2005--Eric Kamen was
born in New York City. The music on his latest release Native
Unit reflects the diversity of that great city. The CD
features 12 instrumental tracks fusing African rhythms,
Middle-Eastern moods, Latin, World, and midi music coupled with
his gorgeous Spanish and Flamenco guitar chords. Kamen, a.k.a. E
in the world of R &B and Rap production, takes young acts and
polishes them to perfection for major label signings, this time
it was his turn.
Kamen says "Today's music is so formulaic, in terms of chord
progressions, beats and choice of sounds, that it does not give
me enough opportunity to push myself anywhere close to my
playing abilities." So with the ambition and ingenuity of the
great producer that he is, he took his irresistible cravings to
play as he used to when he was a kid, and went to work. He put
aside 12 tracks previously developed for various artists, and
instead of recording their voices, laid in a few tracks of
Spanish guitar or acoustic piano and Native Unit was
born. Because of time constraints all the guitar and piano
playing was improvised, literally first takes. Kamen believes
that part of what makes the project feel so cool is that you can
experience the excitement of hearing it come out for the first
time.
While Eric Kamen never envisioned anyone would ever hear it
other than his wife, he now has a legitimate work of recorded
art on his hands that is garnering quite a bit of attention.
Surely once the music circulates, the very artists that he
produces will be sampling it for their own projects. While his
travels in Europe exposed him to North African, Mediterranean
and Middle-Eastern music and undoubtedly were an influence on
this recording, his lifelong connection to NYC is what allowed
him to dig deep into his soul to create this project.
All the tracks on Native Unit were composed, produced,
engineered, and played by Eric Kamen.
