Lowbudget Records is proud to present the debut CD of Hayim Kobi, a drummer-turned-electronic-musician who most recently did the bulk of the music for our DVD of "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari" (LBDVD007). Hayim first became involved with by attending a Doctor X show at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, after which he contacted the good Doctor to discuss collaborating on some music. The immediate results were the Chillgroove sessions (soon to come on CD and DVD) and the "Caligari" film. In the meantime, Hayim worked on his "Compusitions" - laptop jazz / world / ambient pieces with an organic feel to them.

This disc has absolutely stellar sonics to it, and has been used as a demo disc to sell high-end audiophile equipment. If you have ever wanted something that was melodic, sounded great, and could help you relax after a tough day, this is what you were looking for....


Incorporating various elements of ethnic rhythms, electronic landscapes, and more decidedly “New Age” elements, this CD is less about the art of the song and more about the kind of musical texture you hear as the twilight approaches and you’re just drifting off into a dream state. For those who love drifting into sonic landscapes and escaping into pools awash with sound, there is no greater treat than to unplug the phone, light a scented candle and slip into this record. Kobi’s use of organic and electronic textures may not be groundbreaking, but by no means does it make this CD any less breathtakingly beautiful, lush with sounds from all over this planet.
