| Description |
English: Joe Fossard is a music producer, sound technician, songwriter and sonic artist from Blackburn, an industrial city located in Lancashire, England. Fossard has produced award winning projects within several different musical genres including Indie rock, Alternative rock, Hip hop, Alternative hip hop and Trip hop. Most of the artists have been Portuguese, or have been based in Portugal, where Fossard resided for many years. He has also created remixes for a handful of artists under his aliases, 16 Tons and Rockhead.
Fossard, shown here in Portugal (1997) during production of the concept album Stellafly by Californian alternative hip hop artist Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas). This was the second time Ithaka had worked with Ithaka, he had also produced the artist's debut album Flowers And The Color Of Paint, but on the Stellafly album he worked not only as chief producer but also as a co-writer of the music. Along with longtime friend from Blackburn, guitarist Ewan Butler from the band Bradford (who had also recently moved to Portugal) the two co-wrote the musical elements backing most of the songs on the 17-track, 80-minute record. The resulting record, again based on Ithaka Darin Pappas' semi-autobiographical short-story lyricism, (musically backed by Fossard and Butler's compositions), was critically acclaimed in Portugal, being nominated for four Blitz Awards (The Portuguese Grammy) (including "Best Album" and "Best Single" for the song Seabra Is Mad - as well as being considered the national "Album Of The Year" by the country's number one national newspaper Público. A live tour of Portugal and two dates at the prestigious Printemps de Bourges in France followed, but soon afterward, Ithaka returned to the United Stated to begin recording a new record with Los Angeles producers, never returning full-time to Europe to record or perform. However, a decade later, the Drum and bass, surf guitar, story song Seabra Is Mad from the Stellafly album, with Butler on electric guitar (musically co-written by Ewan Butler and Joe Fossard) appeared in the best selling video game Xbox 360 game NBA 2K7. In 2019, it was considered the #69 top "Rap Concept Album" in history by the online magazine Mouse Bear. |
