Biography
Chris W. Paine is a mixed genre electronic artist who has released only one album — a downtempo Weird Conversations.
The album encompassed down tempo, groove and funk elements. Paine spent 2005 writing the album and cowriting with Justin Pierret and Elise McMullen on a few songs. Paine, Pierret and McMullen have also put out a single in 2005, a remake of Thriller, under the name Four Peace Island.
Paine explained his writing process. "When I started this project, I wrote 20 songs and made demos. I made discs and had my friends choose their favorites and give me their top ten. Once I had the top ten, I re-recorded them. The end result has so many genres of electronic music. I might have too many sides to music, but it all sounds like me."
Some of Paine's signature sounds took the lead on Weird Conversations.
Blissturbed showcases the funky distorted clavinets erupting in a danceable house beat. "I intentionally kept guitars off of this song, it's my main instrument and I rely on it a lot. When I wrote Blissturbed, I made a point to keep any guitar sounds off of the track," said Paine.
Another sound Paine is fascinated with is duo harmony Latin guitars, which made an appearance on Flaca.
"I love guitar work like Strunz and Farrah or Lara and Reyes.
