Evolution is the next breath after Improv at Wookiees: The COVID Demos — a reimagining, not a rewrite. The core is still there: the late-night guitars, Timmy’s unfiltered vocals, the air between takes, the pulse of the original sessions. But this time, those raw moments have been given new life — layered with AI-generated string quartets, flutes, tribal drums, and percussive textures that echo and expand what was already alive in the room.

The guitars remain untouched. The voice is still human. The spirit is still two cousins reconnecting under Florida oak trees during the strangest chapter of our lives. But Evolution looks at those same songs through a wider lens — adding new motion, new colors, and new space to breathe.

This is what happens when memory meets technology, when the soul of something old keeps growing. It’s still Estranged Cousins — still imperfect, still honest — just one step further down the road.

Estranged Cousins is a self-driven music project built on a lifelong love of guitars, songwriting, and sound experimentation. Drawing from rock and metal roots, Estranged Cousins writes original songs on acoustic and electric guitar, sometimes supported by drums and sometimes left stripped down and raw. These foundations are crafted first as genuine compositions—complete with personal melodies, chord structures, and emotional intent—before being transformed into something completely different.

After the initial recording process, each song enters a second creative life. Using AI tools and digital production software like Suno, Estranged Cousins reshapes these tracks into EDM reinterpretations that retain the core chord progressions and vocal melodies of the originals while evolving into a new genre and identity. The result is not just a remix, but a refracted version of the song—recognizable yet reborn. This dual-release approach, showcased clearly in the album Metamorphosis, pairs each original composition with its electronic counterpart, making the listener experience the material in two contrasting forms.

For Estranged Cousins, this process isn’t about commercial ambition or perfection. It is about curiosity, technology, and the joy of creation. Writing began in early adolescence with a guitar and a love for heavy music, and that passion never faded—only expanded. By embracing both analog performance and digital reinvention, the project exists in a space where tradition and experimentation meet. Every track represents a personal cycle: write it, play it, shape it, break it, rebuild it.

Estranged Cousins continues to develop music for the sake of expression and exploration, inviting listeners to hear what a song can become when it is allowed to evolve. Whether heard in its raw guitar-driven form or its reimagined electronic state, the purpose remains the same: to create, to experiment, and to share the results of that journey with anyone willing to listen.
