Sip your drink, kick back and imagine you are on your favorite beach while you listen to the smooth yet catchy music of Jardini.
Why this name?
Jardini is the name of my favorite beach. I try to write music that "takes me back there". I write this music for myself - if you like it too, that's great. I hope you find it transports you to your favorite place in the world too.
Do you play live?
No. Jardini is just me in my studio with a Cubase DAW. I prefer to compose and record alone.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It will level the playing field for good new artists that previously would never have gotten a listen. Pay per play will never fly. Pay per track will win out in the end, you'll see....
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I am interested in selling/licensing any/all of my music. Please contact me to discuss this or if you'd like me to compose a special/unique piece of music for you.
Band History:
I have been playing keyboards for over 25 years now. During the dotcom boom of 1999, I made enough money to able to put together a decent studio. I'm just now learning how to use all that wonderful equipment to its full capabilities. As I get more accostomed to my studio, you can expect to hear new and ever more wonderful tracks appear.
Your influences?
Progressive rock, jazz rock, jazz, classical, brass band.....
I have visted or lived and worked in many countries of the world, so I have been infulenced by many music styles.
