Written with a ROLI Seaboard, soundchips from some very old machines, a piano, a field recorder, and some excellent instrumental recordings from friends.

Elemental Fusion is an album of collaborations with instrumentalists. In most cases, I asked friends to record a few minutes of improv or pseudo-improv to use as a springboard for writing a piece of music. The tracks would then be built around whatever they sent me, often chopped up and manipulated. The result is serendipitous; these works were pushed in unique, unexpected directions by my collaborators' performances. The compositional challenge was thrilling.

This album also interprets the word "fusion" in other senses - it is a spiritual successor to the similarly-named pair of diametrically opposed EPs I released in 2022, Elemental Harmony & Elemental Chaos, combining their respective styles of "melodic chiptune" and "ambient glitch" into one work that lives on a spectrum between them. It is a blend of acoustic warmth and digital processing. It is also a synthesis of many different styles, sounds and techniques that I've come to enjoy employing in my writing.

Elemental Fusion is perhaps my most challenging and varied work to date, and I think about it as a recital of sorts for the classical concert stage, a statement of purpose. To that end, detailed program notes are included with the album!

"il jazz di un uomo morto" tells the moment when the music inside goes silent.
Not the death of the body, but of the inner rhythm — when every note arrives late, every breath feels heavy.
The bass still fights, the trumpet looks for a way out, the piano bends like memory.
Jazz becomes a trace of what we were: improvisation, mistakes, life itself.
“Il jazz di un uomo morto” racconta il momento in cui la musica dentro si spegne.
Non è la morte del corpo, ma quella del ritmo interiore — quando ogni nota arriva sfasata, ogni respiro pesa.
Il basso resiste, le trombe cercano un’uscita, il piano si deforma come un ricordo.
Il jazz diventa memoria di ciò che eravamo: improvvisazione, errore, vita.

il jazz di un uomo morto

Heavily inspired by Ryu Umemoto's stuff.

Blessed Evening

Chill Night

I'm starting to remember how to make music!
This is from my upcoming album Return to Aloha which is looking to be absolutely massive. Not quite Shifting Tides sized, but pretty large. This song ended up being a mishmash of a lot of the different styles I've used over the Capelspace albums. Some New Jack Swing, some Citypop, some Synthwave, I guess? It's weird, but i'm happy with it.
