iT Boy @itboy is the solo electronic project of composer and instrumentalist Theo Baer. His individual approach to melodic sound is influenced heavily by an eagerness to adapt and experiment with a variety of genres. The resulting pieces reflect an eclectic upbringing in musical performance. These compositions illustrate an intimate and vulnerable narrative channelled through the manipulation of tape loops, synthesizers, keyboards, and other assorted mostly analog voices.
For our second installment of Cicada, we are proud to present NY based composer and instrumentalist iT Boy. For this contribution, a sonic surreal tapestry is woven with a personal narrative reflecting the memories and mile stones of their relationship with sound. Processed old family audio recordings of sermons floating over a collage of various beautifully lush synth patterns.  The search and evolution for their voice as a composer is highlighted through instruments that have spoken to them, recorded notes and sketches. Included is a listening guide to map out different sonic points throughout your listening journey.
