about

This album is the result of my venturing away from improvised guitar fusion tracks, and into an exploration of experimental production and new instruments. This album was influenced first and foremost by my reading, explorations, and conversations about consciousness and Transhumanism - a theme that will likely continue to run centrally through my music in the future. Tracks from this album were typically created in a very organic fashion. I'll include brief descriptions of how each was conceptualized and recorded under the tracks.
