Joe Santa Maria's album 'Snow Crash' which is released under the name 'Dr Fate' is a wondrous collection of short, mostly compositional pieces that range from eerie electronic rhythmic sounds and jingles to beautiful polyrhythmic sax and oboe experiments.
Each piece of music is an insight into Joe's practice, like looking into an artist's studio space, you catch a glimpse of his thought process and working process. The songs appear and vanish before you have managed to fully process the music giving the record a definite soundtrack and library music feel. A beautiful journey through sounds and rhythms.
Tristan Bath review at The Quietus:
The many layers of framing behind the modern listening experience, the DAW compressors, press release afterthoughts, zeitgeisty themes, it can make one feel so much distance from the reality of the music. This is, of course, by design. The reality is often just a 23-year old trust fund kid, fresh in Berlin, bashing MIDI trigger keys between bong hits, and thus ain’t all that compelling. Dr Fate however, seems to have made music that invites the listener right into his little workspace, pulls up a comfy armchair, hands you a cup of tea, and happily shows you what he’s been up to. A project by Californian multi-instrumentalist Joe Santa Maria, Snow Crash by Dr Fate brims with neat little ideas and multi-tracked saxes and oboes, bursting with a spontaneous life and colour.
There are wonky synth bleeps, echoey keyboards, and jolly chamber ensembles of woodwind, all composed with both skill and wide eyes. And then there’s the closing track of side A, a laughable little ditty about eating pastries, executed like a bad take at the karaoke machine at around 3:36AM. Side B brings in more dreamy post-production, but the tape is still define by a warm atmosphere, accented by those multi tracked woodwinds - surely one of the lushest sounds in music. This one draws massive power from its potent feeling of simple musical discovery, and the sense that we’ve being warmly invited to along for the ride.
Fascinating gentle post-jazz from Vussa that’s not about propulsion and force, but rather the profound impact of stillness. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2022
