Welcome to my new muzine, Acoustic Jaguar!

A muzine is music + zine. This is an experimental format, existing both visually and aurally, sort of like a dream but in a physical form you can touch while you are awake.

Acoustic Jaguar is  a very beautiful 16 page magazine and 40 minute cassette tape, combined to create a limited edition muzine. Acoustic Jaguar is also available as a FREE digital download, download the mp3s and a pdf of the magazine and get inspired!

This muzine’s purpose is to give more permanence and weight to our ideas and to share our love and inspiration. Acoustic Jaguar is a platform of experimentation and self-expression. Watch it echo out into the world!

Volume One features contributions from some amazing artists: Joey Anderson, Phil Moffa, Clovis Wieske, Mónica Kisic Aguirre, Annika Kappner, Paul Frick, Nicolás Kisic Aguirre, and of course myself (Eric Maltz).

I recently worked with the NYC based band She Keeps Bees on their beautiful new album Kinship. This record is truly special, with a deep soulful folk rock vibe bordering on trip-hop.

I wrote and recorded the string arrangements, and played  piano and synth as well. The strings were played by Alice Dixon on cello and Simon Goff on violin.

Dream Journal is two long form cuts for the deep dance floors.

A side Dream Journal is one for the REM cycles. A development of my signature psychedelic deep house sound, dub sound effects jump in and out of focus, swirling arpeggios pan across the stereo field and a playful piano solo take turns at the center of the stage as a deep bass line, live congas, and funk-ready drum machine hold the fort.

Subliminal Virgo is exactly that, hitting with a loose breakbeat and echoes of Dream Journal before settling into an unstoppably subby 4x4 throb. A synth solo hides deep under the layers as we adventure into the dark chasms of thought gaps.
