Modern Melt
7.26.24
The most recent OCTAVES Music release is material from 2022-2023. And this album has more of a alternative pop flavor. The narrative is very much of the now with the philosophical flower power theme. The cover art is Studio Shangri-La’s “Flower Fusion Reactor Core.”

Blue Shift Red Shift
7.21.24
July has certainly been a full release month, seeing Blue Shift Red Shift come full circle in more ways than one. The songs take a trip around the circle of fifths, weaving together major and minor steps into a story of a life cycle. These songs were written somewhat feverishly in the weeks leading up to traveling to Real World Studios in Bath, UK and the first five tracks were recorded there. Many thanks! Over the course of the year’s remainder the album was completed like climbing a summit of personal growth, and a very rewarding journey it was.

Electric Echoes: A Cosmic Tech Opera
5.24.24
This is the first album release for OCTAVES music classical, following a Bach recording and original solo classical guitar. This is an original modern electroacoustic opera with science and cosmology themes, featuring the playful characterization of cosmic forces and all levels of life, guiding us forward with evolution. The musical content harmonizes the tonal and atonal, the signal and the noise. The score is forthcoming from the publications branch.
Other releases this year include electronica singles such as “Kilonova.”
Forthcoming on OCTAVES is more classical and pop! Stay tuned.
