Cornflower
is a vocal-instrumentalist who lives
for the moment. His music is a fusion of World, Funk, Soul, Dub, Hip-Hop, Rock & Electronica.
His music has a
purpose... like a time capsule from
the future, here to help bridge the
gap between our world and what is
to come.
Cornflower's
music emerges intuitively through
an 'accapella scat'
that is very familiar and tribalistic.
He uses 'vocal-percussion'
aka Beat-boxing that is not
meant for spectacle but to serve as
a foundation to his soaring melodies
and atmospheric sound effects that
bring a depth and richness to the
sound wanting to be birthed. Last,
but not least, he uses a Loop station
that allows him to layer these many
vocal-instrumentations into a symphony
that if your eyes were closed, you
wouldn't believe it was being created
solely using his mouth.
