The Soul of a Case Study

I first conceived of this project as a means of creating a music radio show I’d like to listen to and to further develop as a creative.

Selecting an artist whose music I both love and respect I chose Curtis Mayfield as my muse.

Overlaying rich vocal content from my in-depth research to the ripe brilliance of female musical giant, Eryka Badu.  A subtle remix of a few of her intoxicating tracks was used to blend the sound design of the show’s opening and transitions, keeping the style both nostalgic and fresh.

The use of the “Impressions of Curtis Mayfield” by Jazz Soul Seven given to me by good friend Joe Kocherhans at KSDS Jazz 88.3 was weaved in under longer narrative sequences to further beautify the listening experience.

Features an excerpt from the 1980 interview with Curtis Mayfield by Paul Weller (via rightsholder Journeyman Pictures.)   As well as my curation of his most profound songs and a couple of commercial breaks voiced by me.  Soul Sounds is a tight 30 minutes of captivating easy listening audio.  Check out another episode of Soul Sounds here.
