BASS-SCAPES
JAAFAR is Troy Cole, using a 6 string bass, an electric
upright bass, and a four string acoustic bass, exploring
soundscaped themes stemming from Arabic and Indian
music and mythology, which he calls “BASS-SCAPES”.
This “MEDITATION ON BASS” presents the music of
JAAFAR as a new and insightful journey, a deep
meditative spiritual act where music and the spirit walk
hand in hand. www.jaafarmusic.com
“BASS-SCAPES” is an atmospheric / ambient / soundscaping
with a heavy lean on eastern themes (Arabic &
Indian). If you are familiar with Robert Fripp and the type of
soundscapes / Frippertronics he creates, this is close to
what JAAFAR tries to achieve. It is an incorporation of
styles inspired by other groundbreaking artists such as
Jonas Hellborg, John Mclaughlin / Shakti, Robert Fripp,
and ideas stemming from Arabic and Indian music as well
as mythology and the writings and philosophy of Joseph
JAAFAR is a Funk-Fusion Eastern inspired Jazz ensemble, with Robert Troy Cole guiding the cast into exotic funk territories on lead-bass. JAAFAR takes jazz, middle-eastern and Indian style improvisation into new funk elements, which transcend categories, crossing boundaries beyond all horizons, but when performing solo, JAAFAR is Troy Cole, using a 6 string bass, and a 4 string acoustic bass, and electric upright bass with the use of a loop machine and the courage to explore the “outer reaches of inner space”. The soundscapes are also accompanied with acoustic solo bass pieces.
Examples of both can be found on the “BASS-SCAPES” web page: http://www.jaafarmusic.com/BASSSCAPES.html or click on the images above.
Troy Cole has performed as JAAFAR at many festivals over the years since its creation in 2002 and performs in Cairo Egypt on a regular basis.

Bio
Sean Hilliard is a student at NC State and has been a lover of music since
before he can remember. Finally, at age 12, Sean picked up the guitar for
the first time. However, this guitar was an electric. Playing only electric for several years, he is able to incorporate that lead guitar
feel while mixing it with the acoustic flavor. He did not pick up an
acoustic guitar until he was 16 years old and with influences like Jason
Mraz, David Choi, and Andy McKee, Sean has found that style that really
shows his ability through his guitar and also his voice. Listening to Sean
perform, you will hear the tremendous passion he has for his music and his
desire to portray his emotions with his music. He was the lead guitarist
in a local band when he was 17 and has been playing for his church bands
for 4 years. This experience has given him the comfort he needed to launch
his solo career. Playing a large amount of covers and writing his own
songs, Sean is able to find something that everyone will enjoy and relate
to. He hopes to begin performing consistently anywhere for anyone who
would like to listen.

About Viktoria Petermann:
She has been playing guitar and writing original music for the last 3 years, but has only recently started performing around the community. She finds that relationships (not necessarily her own) between people have been the most interesting to observe and write about. She plans to release an EP over the summer.
