Malik Alston – Drum Talk – BrokenMix78

MALIK ALSTON
PRODUCER/COMPOSER/VOCALIST
Malik Alston is a multitalented composer, producer and performer from Detroit, Michigan. He is a graduate of Central High School, and has studied vocal music and electrical engineering at Wayne State University.
He began his musical life at the age of 11, singing at school with concert and honors choirs. His mother inspired him to excel, and to develop his voice. She was a classically trained lyric soprano and composer. Malik’s sister thought that he needed guidance to stay out of trouble, due to the loss of his father at an early age. She realized that his gift of music could be nurtured at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church.
By the age of 13, Malik experimented with writing lyrics and trying to find melodies, rhythms and harmonic structures on the piano. He didn’t have formal training on the piano, and found this to be difficult at times. His determination became his discipline. The front hallway became his muse, and the piano and the living room became his workspace. Malik spent up to eight hours each day on singing and writing music. He founded several groups early in his career, including The Voices of Joy, Love and Planet Pluto.
Malik currently performs original works with his solo project, Malik Alston & The Linwood Ensemble. The band has been warmly received at the House of Blues in Chicago as the opening act for Les Nubians, and at return appearances at the Jazz Café at the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in Detroit.  He also performs as a founding member of the jazzfusionhouse band Painted Pictures.
He toured in 2009 as a founding member of Rhythmic Fusion, a live performance and DJ collective. The group performed in Detroit, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Boston, Hartford, Springfield, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland with artists such as Eric Roberson, P.J. Morton, Mone’t, and Blue Nefertiti. He has also toured in the U.S. with Dwele, and has appeared in Canada with Paul Randolph, and Jerry the Cat.
In addition, Malik has performed in several touring gospel plays, including “Sunday Morning” and “Where Is My Father”. He has performed as a background singer and in concert choirs and live recording sessions with artists such as James Cleveland, Mattie Moss Clark, the Clark Sisters, the Winans, Donald Vails’ Voices of Deliverance, the Hawkins Family, and Thomas Whitfield. Malik has studied and performed at the Gospel Music Workshop of America.
As the CEO of Truth Manifest Records, Malik expresses his creative vision as a producer and composer on varied projects. Malik is honored to have received a nomination as 2007 Best Male Jazz Vocalist from The Detroit Metro Area Musicians and Entertainers Association (DMAMEA), and a nomination as 2005 Outstanding Electronic/Dance Writer Producer of the Year at the Detroit Music Awards.
Malik has worked with the Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross, in conjunction with Scott West of A Fine Mess, Inc. He wrote original music for radio and television commercials for the 2006-2008 Home Team Campaign, featuring members of the Detroit Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, Lions and Shock. The campaign was geared to raise awareness and funds for regional Red Cross assistance programs.
He is honored to be one of twelve featured Detroit artists on the 2008 Dodge promotional CD, Out of Detroit, Into Dodge. The project is currently being distributed to first-anniversary vehicle owners for the International Owner Loyalty Program.

Selected festivals that Malik has performed at include Movement 09: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival (with Kevin Reynolds), Movement 07: Detroit’s Electronic Movement Festival (presenting selections from his solo project, This Music Is Life), 2007 Comerica CityFest, 2006 African World Festival, 2006 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida with a special performance, The Pocket: This Music Is Life, Movement 06: Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival (special guest appearance with Louie Vega), 2005 Fuse-In: Detroit’s Electronic Movement (with Mike Clark), Movement 04: Detroit’s Electronic Movement Festival (Painted Pictures), a very special solo concert appearance at Club Module in Tokyo, Japan in 2003 (featured artist, Beatdown Sessions Series).

Hugo Giner – Day of the new adventure

Ademas de la sesion podemos contar con una minientrevista a Hugo Giner.
1.- Esta es la segunda vez que el sonido Cornuta se alía con Deep Explorer para sacar un EP. ¿Cuáles crees que son los puntos de conjunción entre los dos sellos?
Bueno yo creo que tenemos mucho en común, nos gusta la música negra en general, admirando artistas de antes y de ahora. con idénticos gustos musicales y apreciando los mismos trabajos que salen al mercado y en el tema de la imagen del sello pienso que también hay similitudes.

2.- Para este trabajo has recuperado el corte “Edit Gospel” editado en Cornuta Sound, que personalmente me encanta, dándole una vuelta de tuerca. ¿Cómo fue el proceso de producción para darle un nuevo aire?
Pues le envíe un tema nuevo a Duuby el lo escucho y me dijo que si podría probar a ponerle las voces del edit 5 gospel, me gusto mucho la idea y cogí otras voces diferentes, modifique algo la canción original y la verdad es que ha quedado bastante bien.

3.- Escuchando tus producciones veo que das mucha importancia al sampleado de sonidos. ¿Podrías enumerar algunos de los artistas que has sampleado para este trabajo o cuales son los artistas a los que mas recurres?
Suelo samplear de funky, soul, disco, cosas de la Motown, Prelude, Salsoul. Artistas como, Marvin Gaye, Gill Scoot Heron, James Brown entre otros.

4.- Deep Explorer y Cornuta Sound se han labrado un hueco en el panorama internacional del deep house. ¿A que crees que se debe el éxito de ambos sellos?
Yo creo que el éxito de uno es estar convencido de lo que hace, pienso que en los dos sellos lo estamos y nos gusta lo que hacemos sin dudar que el disco va a ser malo. el problema que hay es que cada día cuesta mas sacar la música en vinilo, la gente no es consciente a la hora de bajarse la música gratis, lo único que consiguen es que los artistas que emplean tantas horas para hacer ese sonido que les gusta no obtengan beneficio alguno y algún día no podrán volver a editar su música

5.- Para terminar. ¿puedes contarnos que planes de futuro tiene Cornuta Sound?
Pues el futuro del sello es intentar luchar para seguir sacando referencias. Abran nuevas colaboraciones siempre manteniendo el estilo propio del mismo
