I'm Done Hiding (feat. Keyandra May) - Single

I'm Done Hiding (feat. Keyandra May)

Wrote this back in 2020 for live drums. Decided to variate it. Taking from a concept inspired by J3PO where you take one note on top and change up the harmony underneath.

Three Pee O'Clock

My first ever track using quantization! This was part of an assignment I had to complete. Use quantization for the whole track! Definitely fitting for spooky season! Happy Halloween everyone!

I've been recording and writing a lot since being in quarantine. It's been so fun. This is a snippet of a new little ditty I'm doing.

Following the Light (Trim)

Dissonance is normally defined as the "lack of harmony among musical notes."
As an alternative dissonance can also be defined as, "a tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements."

I made this track right after the video of George Floyd was circulating around the internet. For some, this was the first time some saw an injustice like that taken place. For me, this was added to a long list of injustices that continue to happen every day to my black and brown sisters.

The riots that took place also were at the forefront of my mind. The dissonance between an unjust system that often targets people that look like me and the silence of those who don't "understand". This is what happens when dissonance is deferred.

Grateful to Louis M Jones for working his magic on making this even more incredible!

(Thankful to Angela Davis and Cornel West for their brilliant speeches and words!)
