In theory

trying my hand at improvising over mintjam's wonderful arrangement of yasunori mitsuda's perennial work.

mintjam - corridors of time (improv)

like for most people playing through chrono trigger for the first time, reaching zeal was breathtaking.  its disconcerting ethos, and the wonder of a fantastical city suspended above the clouds, were perfectly captured by a rookie mitsuda in his seminal 1995 soundtrack.

in my mind, the island of zeal's vertical positioning with respect to the earthbound ones was/is an elegant metaphor for the social stratification present in trigger's era of antiquity.  i tried my best to draw upon that image in constructing this homage to a composer who has greatly influenced this small voice in a great sea of admirers.

thanks for listening!

chrono suite

the first track off my new album is titled "genesis", and is a framing of the three-way intersection between the biblical account of creation, the standard model of modern cosmology, and recent trends in the philosophy of time. perhaps more than anything, i wanted to instill in this the sense of wonder and awe we would feel if we were able to turn back the dial of time and personally witness the mighty hand of God bringing into being the entire created order.
