All in one.Band/artist history
Deerfoot is Dean Faulkner (guitar), Ryan Timoffee (keyboards), Kurt Ciesla (bass) and Ron Samson (drums). The Canadian band is an instrumental quartet influenced by jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, avant-garde, and modern electronica. Their philosophy of pureness and honesty invents music that is spontaneous and improvised in sound, yet highly arranged and organized in format. The outcome is the creation of impulsive and original beats that fuses genres together into funkadelic electric jazz rock.
Deerfoot was formed in 2004 by Timoffee as part of a project experiment to meld various styles of music. He called up his long time friends to come to Toronto during breaks from their other tour obligations. Following a rehearsal week, they prepared for the full scale production and are now currently putting the final touches on their first release. Deerfoot’s debut recording is slated to be released in May 2006,.
It is evident that Deerfoot’s songs are based on an extensive knowledge, an intensive background and a distinct outlook in all music. All of the band members are full-time musicians with formal training in various genres. They credit their experiences within the industry and with other musicians as a factor in their abilities to collaborate and compose songs together.
With the band’s high quality of musicianship, open-minded approach and inspiration to a variety of influences, they create a fresh concept and vibe that is seldom felt in today’s radio-perfect digital hell. Most of their songs are purely improvised, with songs being recorded without digital editing to capture the integrity of their sound and musical abilities. One senses that they aren’t driven by an adherence to the rules but by natural intuition when it comes to their music, and being able to record in a low budget studio at someone’s house is a testament to their capabilities.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live...we rock out. We improvise. We play songs. Sometimes we just soundscape and create on the spot We play to our audience. We want to bring them to the next level. Thats our goal.

excellent music...
your name is rather similar to "Deerhoof," though...
Hi,
Love your brand of breakbeat/D&B jazz. Whatever it is, I dig Elves on Patrol and have added it to my Future Funk Heaven station.
