Study in G Major What started as an experiment to motivate me to finally write and release some music has somehow turned into this giant four hour long release traversing every key. I've arranged the album to travel through the circle of fifths backwards. Each piece is a minimalist study meaning an improvisation within a key, finding and repeating melodic and rhythmic patterns, then moving on. Meditative in mindset. Finding something, observing it, then moving on. Being present and embracing jarring wrong notes, only because of the hyper established key centre from an unmoving arp from the Juno. I made it a rule to never restart any takes because I felt it would have become far less about the actual thing, the actual playing, feeling and traversing a key for that long.
