Newcomer Joshua Morse offers up a great, unique first submission with some contemporary jazz mixage from Final Fantasy 7. I usually check out newcomers' websites, when available, out of general curiosity, and in this case the URL provided, www.dashstudio.net, turned up a few surprises - seems Joshua is at the forefront of a group of artists that include some established OC ReMixers such as Dale North, and Judge/ReMixer Beatdrop, to name a couple. Obviously, a project/group worth checking out and keeping one's eye on, considering the combined talents involved. Regardless of familiar collaborators, this was my first time hearing Mr. Morse's work, which in this case is a very subtle, mellow, light jazz that goes down smooth and easy but has some nice nuances that make it warrant closer listening. Introing with delayed arpeggios (in something by Uematsu? No way! ^^) but underlying that with a tasteful chord progression, funky swing-time drums come in along with a bouncy electric bass and electric piano solo. String pads then take over a couple bars, with the piano re-entering along with choral stabs that are rather innovative in this context and work well. Joshua then drops most of the drums out but keeps the hi-hat goin' and does some interesting timbral manipulations to it that really pull the ending, which is minimalist and sort of abrupt, together into something more cohesive. This piece is brief, but even if it doesn't tangent into more developed portions or display a lot of flamboyant accoutrements, it does illustrate some skills with jazz arranging and attention to detail as well, and (hopefully) hints at what's to come. Short but sweet initial mix from Joshua Morse - check it out.
