INSECTS (the album)

Leave Me Alone

This video provides detail of the introduction to the Album "Insects" titled "Leave Me Alone". This piece is inspired by Jacob Collier, and although rooted in a cappella (many voices) includes bass, drums, and chimes along with a jazz feel. The sound in the final piece resulted in a non-traditional chromatic feeling throughout. Hope you enjoy this.

STETI, Between The Keys

This features a concept and instrument I invented called STETI (Sixty Tonal Equal Temperament Instrument). This is composed of micro-tones that add four notes between each note to reach an unorthodox chromatic scale. With this, 60 notes become the octave vs the usual 12. The goal is to introduce added harmonics and make some intricate-sounding music.

TSOI - Only Imagine

An opening song on the album, "TSOI", takes a deep look at the downsides of rapid social media success. This describes how a newly made celebrity may choose to wear a social mask or “persona” to make themselves appear more socially desirable. This song is called "Only Imagine" and I believe reflects this social aspect at play today.
