moquannum: soul to sole
Moquannum: Soul To Sole, is a kindred fusion of past and present. To say the least, Motown records echo some of the greatest arrangements in musical history. Quannum - originally known as Solesides - is a like minded collection of artists that came together to pool their ideas and energy into something prolific and independent in contemporary music.
Guillermo Chiapa began chipping away at Moquannum in 2008, it's been a long time coming. The intention was to deliver the tracks in a classy and minimal manner, as not to over cook them one bit while letting the original materials shine through. Rare or even raw. Most recently Chiapa contributed to the "Yasiin Gaye" Project which was created by Amerigo Gazaway.
This is not a study in music theory. It's a merging of arts.
