Frank G. and RoadsArt - Twelve Sessions
“The 12 Sessions Project” is a collection of random jam sessions recorded and performed by live musicians, singers, emcees and songwriters, from many different genres, over a course of 12 weeks. The songs from each of these sessions continued to evolve throughout the project, as each week, different musicians added their stylings and offered their musicianship to the compositions. These compositions were then treated as “original samples” to be further chopped, manipulated, and arranged to form completely new pieces of music. The end result is a unique compilation of sounds and vibes that explores new ways of creating and presenting hip-hop music.
