Calmer "Open Source"
- Words: Jennifer Marston
- Label: Moodgadget
With all the holiday hoopla making everyone a little crazy and causing chaotic traffic jams in subway tunnels, we thought a track by an artist who goes by the name Calmer might be suitable for this morning. Otherwise known as Collin M Palmer, this Brooklyn-based percussionist/composer's music lives up to its name on his forthcoming album, Past is Present. Call it a fusion of avant-jazz and psychedelic-influenced electronics. The new album marks his debut for Moodgadget, and will be released on January 20. Photo by Tom Gillmore.
