The collaborative music project known
as Vferg has released their latest LP record, “Jam.” The album is
composed of eight original tracks for an approximate total listening
time of 25 minutes. It has been released on the Conglo independent
music label without the financial or managerial support of corporate
music companies. Wildly creative, instrumentally ingenious, and more
colorful than a sunrise in a hall of mirrors, “Jam” is an album
true audiophiles everywhere can (and probably should) get behind.
Vferg cites as main artistic influences
Pharrell, N.E.R.D., Jimi Hendrix, and Outkast, but the results of the
group's collaborations far exceed the insight this small revelation
can provide. While the name of the band is that of their bandleader,
Vferg, their sound is a moving, shifting thing which depends on the
persons involved at the time; hence, the title of their record.
In addition to the considerable talents
of Vferg, himself, “Jam” (often stylized 'JAM') also incorporates
the skills of such artists as Kellindo Parker, Freddy Fuego, Ava
Raiin, Bradley Madsen, Compton Timberwolf, Sciryl Cooper,
Paul-Anthony Surd, Jamilia Hall, George 2.0, Vicsun, Reginald
Makerson, Richard Grant and Andy Baldwyn.
“'Jam' is titled that,” Jferg
writes, “because it is the product of spontaneous musical
experiences with great artists and singers. Most of my produced songs
are the result of some kind of jam session and shared energy with
friends and musicians in the moment.”
This, Vferg goes on to explain, is the
modus operandi of the record in whole.
“'Jam' is a 'Creative Public
Offering,'” writes Jferg. “My platform is one that aims to feel
like a produced version of an open mic. A synergy between production
and lyrics. I aim to inspire people to create and share their own
Creative Public Offering.”
Though Vferg is a man unafraid to use
his college vocabulary, he's a humble musician with a humanist's
philosophy about the music he makes and how he makes it.
He writes of this, “I am just a guy
that wanted to make music and share. I can't even read music. But as
soon as I touch an instrument, I create with rapid velocity. I
attract the energy and expertise of pro musicians and performers and
we make audio magic.”
Neither is his music simply meant for
music's sake, either. Vferg notes that music has properties people
sometimes don't recognize. The songs on “Jam” are intended to do
more than merely get people grooving.
“This music is healing music, too,”
he writes, “because the songs are meant to remove you from the
anxiety of daily life and provide you a with a creative adventure. [I
call it] Music for Living.”
“Jam” by Vferg and
company is available online worldwide. Get in early.
