Granulist Music
I created a new genre called GRANULIST MUSIC. The first single “They’re Listening” is coming out on April 23rd. Pre-save link HERE and description below. Art by Matt diLeo.
GRANULIST MUSIC explores the architecture of song. Form becomes fluid as structure gives way to recurring motifs. Polyrhythmic permutations weave through a layered pulse which supports developing melodies and evolving harmonies.
GRANULIST MUSIC introduces a paradigm shift with a focus on contemporary compositional techniques. Parameters are malleable rather than dogmatic, providing a pathway from theoretical confinement to creative liberation.
Thank you and farewell...
