Jeff Oster

One of the MySpace friends of music2work2 is Jeff Oster from California. Jeff Oster plays Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Synthesizer, Loops, and Percussion. Other musicians collaborate with him on some pieces. His music is classified as Lounge/Ambient/Acoustic. The four samples of Jeff's music on his MySpace page are mellow and relaxing. In that sense, they remind me of some music2work2 sessions. I especially like "At Last," on which Jeff says he is joined by Will Ackerman, guitarist, and "As I Live and Breathe."

Jeff Oster has a new CD, True, coming out this summer. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his beautiful music.

Jamie Bonk

One of our MySpace friends whose music you might really enjoy is Jamie Bonk. His music is categorized as Jazz/Acoustic/Rock. Jamie Bonk is from Toronto, Ontario Canada, and is a guitarist/composer. Jamie Bonk has three albums to his credit and his work has been recognized with several awards and award nominations.

I particularly like Wiggle and This Is It of the sample pieces on his MySpace page. They are both fast tempo, upbeat, "make you feel good" pieces. I like the prominence of the sound of the guitar.

dan lo.fi

One of the really fun things about trying to find new friends on MySpace is getting to hear so many different kinds of music. While some are very similar to the type of music of the sessions of music2work2, some are very different and unique. Dan lo.fi is one of our friends whose sound is unique and enjoyable; it is classified as Electronica/Electro/Indie. Dan lo.fi (Daniel Pugh) is from London and is a classically trained violinist and composer.

Elastic Tension and Chamber Electronica 51 are the songs from the samples on dan lo.fi's MySpace page that I like the most. Check out dan lo.fi and see what you think!
