MONOMYTH

Wizards

Designed as an interlude, this piece acts as the falling action towards the ending of the hero's journey. It features steelpan, a handmade native american drum used for spiritual healing and protection, classical guitar and an Oboe via MIDI controller.

Native Drums

The big showdown between hero and villain, this is the final challenge the hero must take during their journey. The song features a structure that emulates Trinidad Panorama music with a theme and variation format. An engine room of percussion instruments helps drive the song through various emotional moments until a euphoric moment of hope arrives, only to drop back into an abyss suddenly, letting the main melody take hold to the conclusion.

Revolt

Scared, breathless, nervous. This is the moment of tension and anxiety you feel before the biggest challenge of your life. This interlude has a Phillip Glass feel but is anything but with steelpans, piano and strings pushing the piece to its ambiguous conclusion.

Layover

Filled with a variety of genres to represent the coming together of worlds and ideas, Algorhythmic is all about self-discovery and the moment where all of your hopes, dreams and fears clash at once to reveal your true self. The song features a hypnotic steelpan riff, layered percussion throughout, a latin jazz section with trumpet solo and a middle-eastern style ending that will leave you lost in the desert, anything but thirsty.

Algorhythmic

Moments of reflection are critical in life. This is one of them. As the raindrops fall in the background, the steelpans shine here by themselves to reveal a heartfelt moment meant to highlight how we should always take a moment to celebrate life, even as the storm swirls around us.

Flowers in a Storm

Flowers In A Storm

This one speaks for itself. Short and sweet, it's the moment where you first discover what you're best at in life. Featuring rich percussion and a solo section to get you moving.

Actions

The circle of life always includes death. This is where the old guard passes to make way for the new. Imagine a funeral where the hero pays their respects to the heroes of the past.

When The Dust Settles

This is the end of the journey, where bliss and fulfillment take over. You've done it. Now it's time for quiet reflection, celebration and a nice long vacation. Inspired by a beach in Trinidad of the same name, this piece features the guitar taking the melody with the steelpans holding the chords together with a unique rhythmic pattern and a bridge section that builds to a climax.
