Forging an evolution of the “mashup” album format, producer Amerigo Gazaway’s “conceptual collaboration” projects imagine studio sessions between like artists of different genres and eras. With a process the LA Times’ Randall Roberts described as “drawing a different design within a similar framework,” the producer  deconstructs and re-orchestrates samples from his respective subjects, bridging overlapping themes of the two musician’s classic catalogues. With presentations and lectures logged at USC, MTSU, and Google HQ (NYC), Gazaway continues to highlight the possibilities of sample based art and shows no signs of slowing down.
