TRACKS TAKEN FROM TWO CURRENT RELEASES, AWE SOOTH

AND, AT THE MOUTH OF THE MOUNTAINS. 

THE SAMPLER IS A GLIMPSE OF THE MANY MUSICAL WORLDS ESOS PICOS WILL BE TAKING LISTENERS THROUGH.

​

THE SECOND AND LAST TRACKS ARE TAKEN FROM ESOS PICOS FIRST RECORD, 

AWE SOOTH. GUITARS, SYNTHS AND VOCAL HARMONIES COME TOGETHER TO EXPLORE THE DARKER CORNERS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, DRENCHED IN THE DREAMY MELODIC ARRANGEMENTS AND STYLINGS OF ESOS PICOS. 

​

“WITH AWE SOOTH, I WANTED TO FOCUS ON WHAT MUSIC WOULD COME OUT OF CERTAIN GUITARS I WAS PLAYING AROUND WITH AT THE TIME. THESE GUITARS WERE MORE DARK AND STARK SOUNDING, SOMETIMES BROKEN, WHICH PERMEATED INTO THE MUSIC AND HELPED WITH THE DARKER THEMES OF THE RECORD. THERE WAS ALSO AN EFFORT TO EXPAND ON VOCAL ARRANGEMENTS IN ORDER TO HEIGTHEN THE MUSIC WHERE IT WAS NEEDED. THIS LED TO SOME POWERFUL MOMENTS WHEN IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.”

​

THE FIRST AND THIRD TRACKS ARE FROM THE PIANO/SYNTHH BASED RECORDINGS

THAT CAME TO BE, AT THE MOUTH OF THE MOUNTAINS.

​

"THIS RECORD STARTED OUT AS A LIVE PIANO SET BUT WAS ULTIMATELY REDONE AS A PIANO/SYNTH BASED RECORD WITH PERCUSSION AND SYNTHY STRINGS THROUGHOUT. THE SYNTHS AND LYRICS BRING A NICE DARK COUNTERPOINT TO THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THE PIANO AND MELODIES. IT WAS MY ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE AND WRITE MORE POP BASED MELODIES WHICH WAS FUN TO DABBLE IN."
