Fly (Instrumental)

Growing up, music was always a part of my life, but it wasn't until my father's unexpected passing that it became something much more profound. Struggling with panic attacks and existential dread, I turned to meditation as a source of solace and grounding. This new philosophy began to influence my music, and I discovered that instrumental music could complement the present moment and help me relax.

My sound draws inspiration from a range of genres, but I would currently describe it as Meditative Experimental Indie Electronic Music. A combination of manipulated tape field recordings, open marching guitar rhythms, borderline breakbeat drums, and whimsical synths create a unique and emotive sound. On Common Tiger's latest records, I played all the instruments you hear.

My music has been recognized by Spotify and Apple Music, featured on some of their most prominent playlists, but the most meaningful recognition comes from people who reach out to me to say that my music has touched them deeply. When someone tells me that a simple piano song I wrote inspired them to start playing again, I feel like I have accomplished what I set out to do.
