Change Request | RiteOnRed - Dufflebag Recordings

As a traditional musician, Andrew Emil has worked as a keyboardist, arranger, and an orchestrator on recording sessions and productions.

His composition and studio productions have ranged from concert works and sound design to film scoring stages and hundreds of releases of electronic music productions. 

Cutting his teeth at the former Chicago Trax Recording Studios, after a life in live music performance in orchestras to punk rock ensembles, he crafted a reputation for House Music productions in Chicago under his own name, as well as Broadway & Wilson, and Uptown Tones. 

2012 saw the emergence of his epithet, Change Request, with the Change Theory EP on four play music. This new persona allowed the freedom to explore hybrids of mid-tempo live instrument focused jazz-dance-fusion. 

Following this release was “After All” on Seasons Recordings, with another single thereafter featuring house music icon, Chez Damier, “I Wanna Go Back”, including a remarkable rework from Glenn Underground, on Glenview Records. 

2018 saw the emergence of the second generation of the Change Request moniker with Emotive Emotion EP on Natural Rhythm Music, debuting tracks such as “Pieces Of A Dream”, “Sidewalk” and “This Time Around”. 

Remixing artists along the way, including “Electricity” on Colette’s Candy Talk imprint and three songs for electronic pop duo Dirty Sole, Emil created AstraVox Music with the award-winning Los Angeles-based composer, Mr. Nathaniel, as a home for his increasing catalog of incidental dramatic musical compositions. 

The ever-growing collection of songs and musical dialogue eventually led to the conceptual album series from Change Request. Each full-length effort containing a completely separate story and scored via its own unique incidental subtext. 

The first of this series sees him diving into a Québécois fable of love lost and unrequited desire with “RiteOnRed” for Dufflebag Recordings. 

This ten-track album is an explicit emotive journey into the depths of love lost, heartache, and tangled introspection. An eclectic musical voyage, ​RiteOnRed​ imagines a world of musical noir, infatuation, and unrequited desire through its rhythmic posturing, sonic coloring, and languishing lieder.

With All My Love,

@AndrewEmil | @ChangeRequest

DRIFT AWAY FROM THE BULLSHIT

DRIFT AWAY FROM BULLSHIT w/ VILLAIN

“I Can’t Wait,” is the first single from Ardalan's debut album, 'Mr. Good,' which perfectly encapsulates the LP’s dynamic. The track’s poignant melodies and striking vocal convey a sense of isolation felt when one’s passion and goals outweigh their personal and emotional upkeep. Ardalan offers the track as a fitting first listen of the record.
