The Chill Jam is a collection of artists who each work, either independently or cooperatively, to produce artistic works purely for the purpose of cultivating art and culture. Contributors work on their own time and schedule to produce these works, however, an attempt is made at producing works on a regular and sustained basis in order to retain focus and provide relevant creative reaction toward experiences occurring as they live their lives. The purpose of this project is to increase interest in modern art and culture and to inspire others to continue to create, imagine and explore.

Street Corner is something I was putting together for the film we’ve been working on.
We’ve hit some delay with the film production but I thought we could go ahead and release the track anyway as a separate release.

“Minimal” is the word here.

I was shooting for something with a dark, quiet mood without being drawing too much attention. Something that could work a feeling in the background without interfering too much with the visuals that would be showing on the screen.


Additionally, I was a bit influenced by the minimalist drum lines of some of the more recent R&B. I noticed that a lot of recent R&B songs have incredibly simplistic drum beats, relying primarily on isolated bass and snare strikes to hold everything together.

It was just interesting to see what could be done with some of the most simple layering that I could think of, relying on the space between strikes to give it breathing room.

Give it a listen. Thanks!
