Balance is my first album. It is an instrumental expression of energy, the elements, and their manifestation in the body. It explores some of my influences in electronic music, jazz, and math rock.

Balance

After absorbing a lot from the intersection of juke and jungle, here's a little song I wrote.

Don't worry bout me, I'll be in the sky floatin. 

Leapah - Floatin

surf |sərf|
noun
the mass or line of foam formed by waves breaking on a seashore or reef: the roar of the surf.


Leapah - Surf

Getsu means moon and it represents the element of Void. The moon is also the heavenly body with the strongest Yin energy.

Leapah - Ground (Reprise)

My first album, Balance, is an instrumental expression of energy, the elements, and their manifestation in the body. It explores my influences in electronic music, jazz and math/post rock.

The title track here explores cycles, layers and development of a constant theme.

Leapah - Balance

Agni is both Sanskrit for "fire" and the name of the Hindu god of fire. In this song, Reuben and I explore our prog influences as well as two sides of fire: one sunny, hot and bright, and one destructive, mysterious and dark.

Leapah - Agni (feat. Reuben Moss)

Ground is the first track for my album Balance. It's meant to conjure a place of sanctuary that extra special people and pieces of art take me to.

I worked together with Couleurs on this one to mix a dreamy ambient soundscape with post-rock style clean guitar riffs.
