Liquid Data, Chad Gerber's newest release under his Woodrowgerber moniker takes listeners on an introspective chillwave journey washed in relaxing hip hop beats, retro synth layers, and dreamy samples, mixed with the limited guitar stylings fans have come to expect from him. Written, recorded, produced, and performed in a cabin studio while off the road from his larger projects, Woodrowgerber reflected on his Covid 19 experience and worked to create a soothing expression of audible escapism, putting his newest album firmly in the realm of chill-out music. Always striving for his music to be listenable on repeat with a modern, timeless nature, Woodrowgerber has succeeded in doing so once again.

Black Hand is a Creative Commons production by Paolo and Roberto Pavan: jazz compositions created over the last three years, entirely self-produced.
"Black Hand" is the black hand, the soul that has always fed my musical research. It represents the hand of Afro-American musicians, expression of that free music, devoid of constrictions, mental schemes, styles and clichés, almost an escape from the prison of form.
I want to thank my Trio friends: Carmine Iuvone, Francesco Merenda, Federico Orfanò and the guests Davide Marinacci and Giacomo Tantillo, very talented musicians.

So, you're alive. One unique chance in 400 Quadrillion. Out here amongst the stars, and with this beautiful planet to inhabit too. You're not alone though, since 7 Billion others want the same things you do. We're this massive human collective trying to imagine progress, but with more attention on technology than working on ourselves instead - and every industry's a sad reflection of it. And so what's the point of it all, anyway, someone always says. Well, you're alive, one chance in 400 Quadrillion, did you even hear what I just said? So why not try, why not grow, why not change, why not hope to make some progress with our humanity someday? To lean towards our better nature, rather than away from it. To think about others in relation to ourselves and be the better for it. To try and make this world a better place, as they say, or maybe just do the right thing and maintain it. Because what a unique and fortunate privilege to even be here, I think, as painful as our lives can be. And let's just say we do blow the whole thing up, we're all thinking it's going to happen eventually. Well, there's a chance the very advancements we're making with science and technology will be what allows us to escape. To move on to some new beautiful planet, even though we had it all right here anyway. Ok, then maybe with a vow to grow as human beings first the next time, before we repeat all the same mistakes. So I imagined this record as something we might write on that journey, an honest reflection of our lives back on earth - forever once already.
