Modal writing in a dark major key — the harmony sits still while the lines move across it, with light percussion and a moderate dynamic range across two and a half minutes.
For cocktail bars, art spaces, design studios and any venue that wants jazz without the predictability of standard chord changes. Also good under thoughtful narration.
A hundred and three beats per minute, the fastest of the five modal cuts, across two minutes thirty-nine. The harmony holds still while the lines move over it, which is what separates modal writing from the standards this album otherwise avoids.
