This is the lead track from my most recent album, "Dawning of The Light Ages II: Moment of The First Ray", It was inspired by early spiritual pipe organ music, Edgar Froesse, Atticus Ross, Portishead and other inluences in the New Age movement. This is my tribute to the late Edgar Froesse of Tangerine Dream, who was a big influence on me.

Viento Y Lluvia - Max Vasquez ft Peter Redman
Recorded the weekend of Jan 29 - Feb 3, 2014, at Peter Redman's lovely mountain studio and Produced by Peter Redman and Max Vasquez. The wind and rain that weekend were the inspiration for the title. This is my first song that features me on jazz vocal improvisation soloing, though I've been doing it for 40+ years. Incidentally, I strongly dislike the U.S. term "Lounge" for this type of Latin Jazz, as it is much more difficult to perform than 3 chord rock and folk. No lounge about it, no sir! Enjoy, my little lounge kitties!

Max Vasquez - Kongor-Ool Ondar ft. Tuvan Throat Singer Ondar, Chris Mancinetti & Paul Marshal Reeder
How Kongor & I Met:
In 1995 I was hired to record a strange new voice never heard before in this land, so they told me. The session was inside the top dome of the Pasadena City Hall! So I haul my DA-88 digital recording machine up as my partner got the mikes, mixers etc. up these tiny winding long and treacherous stairs. I say treacherous because the steps were covered in pigeon droppings.
One slip and my $5,000 tape machine would go down into the abyss maybe to connect with a State Representative's head and create an international incident. But all went well, luckily, and we set up the gear, placing mikes in every corner of, well, not corners per se - it was a dome.
The moment I heard this man, this, what i instantly knew was a holy and sacred spirit, i knew I was in for as deep as it got. The red pill was in full effect.
Once my levels were set and all was perfect, my head phones caught all the reflections and I went into space out of my body for an instant brief moment! I used no effects at all to capture him- none were needed I could not believe my ears- This small man of Asian appearance was singing 3 notes at once! A drone, not unlike the Buddhist monks. A middle tone, and these beautiful wispy birdlike whistling tones oscillating harmonically. All simultaneously. We all looked at each other around the room as if we just discovered an ancient treasure with Indiana Jones in a secret lair!
I later found out that Kongor-Ool Ondar was a Tuvan Throat Singer, a high priest from Anatola Tuva, or Tuva, for short. Tuva is a region in Russia which is famously underground for people who live a simple austere life revolving around the Alesh River, one of the biggest rivers near the Steppes. They regard their horses as status like we hold our cars- the best horses were like BMWs.
Professor Ralph Layton -who hired me through a friend who had overbooked his studio and needed a man on the spot (there are no accidents)- teaches at California Institute of Technology, or, Cal Tech, which I often frequented for lectures, concerts, and making recordings in some of their rooms and general loitering. Prof. Layton told us after the session, over lunch, that he was Richard Feynman's dearest, best friend til Richard passed away. Most people in the know, respected Dr. Feynman for his groundbreaking physics work on the Los Alamos Project. He's one of my inspirations as a brilliant contributor to the advancement of human knowledge.
Richard had a dream he could never achieve during the Cold War- to visit these wondrous people he learned about through a stamp! Yes, a stamp which led him to other stamps and more info on the Tuvans, which was little to none. Just as the Iron Curtain was lifted and Richard could safely travel, Richard fell deathly ill and asked Ralph to promise him he would carry out his dream, his mission to go to tuva. Ralph of course agreed. Having spent time with him I can say I've rarely met a kinder, more good humored brilliant physicist. I…How Kongor & I Met:

Lester Leaps Out - Max Vasquez
I made this in 1994 in my studio in Sierra Madre We were sitting around trippin' with the groove and messin with sounds to put in. I pulled out a stack of old 78s & 33.3 vinyls from the back of the closet.
Then it just happened. A Lester Young pressing kept coming back to the turntable. the very first intro to "I Wish I Knew" was an improvised lick that I liked a lot so I placed it on the beat. After more tweaking and arranging, this is the result. Thus "Lester Leaps Out!"
If you're not a Traditional Jazz initiate, Lester Young was a founder of Modern Swing and Bebop, who was famous for backing Billie Holiday and Count Basie.
Special thanks to Mike A. for providing our sessions with flowing spirits- by that I mean beer&wine!
Featured are the incredible Chris Mancinetti on guitar and Gary Lenk on bass. The trumpet and piano parts and beats are, of course me.
It was like being in a hot tub time machine, playing my harmonies to Lester Young's hot tenor sax chops. In the studio that week, fun was had by all!
The track made it to my album, "Buttefly Garden", a collection of homages to my favorite Electronica genres. Though I didn't release it during the Rave Movement, I did perform it quite often live with Bassland and on my own solo shows.
