RadioIndy is pleased to present Miguel Rodrigues with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Micro Talk"

"Micro Talk" by Miguel Rodrigues is an innovative electronica and house album that is full of funky riffs and soulfully energetic beats. Rodrigues without a doubt has a style all his own, composed of electronica, house, dance, funk, and jazz, and this album puts that style on full display. The listener will certainly experience a sort of serenity while listening to “Micro Talk,” as he takes listeners on a journey filled with layer upon layer of beautiful sounds mixed with warm, but active, grooves and beats. The sequences are all very tight and the production is of very high quality. "Blue Ball" kicks things off, and to say it is funky would be a tremendous understatement. It's an excellent introduction track that gives the full taste of the style of tracks to come. "Mr. G" pulls things back a bit and gives you more of a deep house vibe while still maintaining Rodrigues’ style. The title track "Micro Talk" wraps things up and features some clever horn work and a bit of sex appeal. Those that enjoy discovering unique electronica artists with a multitude of influences will love “Micro Talk” and should waste no time in picking this one up.

My song Blue Ball was reviewed by Taxi (The World's Leading Independent A&R Company).

Style

This track is somewhere within the electronica scene but flirts with a subtle house feel while incorporating funk, jazz, and some addition percussion that surpasses any simple house beat.

Melody

There are layers that fulfill melodic space like the guitar and sax but they are more groove oriented rather than memorable melodies.

Structure

Structurally the track is free to move in whatever direction it chooses. The pace shifts from manic to more consistent but does return to thematic parts later on.

Overall Comments

Hi Miguel,
Firstly, thanks for submitting the song. I enjoyed listening as the the layering was provocative and engaging throughout. As far as production, I found it to be sonically very pleasing. There were some cool elements like the filtered guitar licks and later looped sax line that complimented the momentum of the song and acted as the familiar motifs. The structure is fairly loose and until later returning to some prior ambiguous themes, it almost feels like a DJ mix due to the fast pace thick arrangement. The first half of the song seems to shift gears rather quickly while is spaces things out a bit later on. I like being surprised but the repetition seems to work best for this style. I hear it being more of a setting for an energetic lounge although it could work in various settings including clubs and t.v. placements etc. I would definitely suggest making a condensed version that could be accessible for placements, where the different motifs are present without necessitating a music supervisor to sit through the entire piece before deciding it fits. Overall, I found the track to be really enjoyable and filled with flavor. I really liked the use of sounds and samples as there were musical attributes rather than solely synth sounds that tend to surface often in various electronica genres. I think there is a wide appeal to the track because of it's crossover into house, funk, jazz, etc. Very cool track, I'm a fan.
