about

Frame Of Reference is an afro-futurist beat tape that combines African diasporic rhythms with neo-classical harmony to create a soundscape that is oddly nostalgic, yet unfamiliar.

Imagine yourself as an ancestor of the past, exploring the worlds of the future.

This is modern day impressionism in beat tape form– each track forms its own narrative that is unique to you, the listener. There is no subtext here, just sounds that explore the vast universe and hopefully evoke some abstract thought.

This beat tape is an assortment of compositions of mine throughout 2023, and you can find visual loops that accompany each track on my Instagram page, with a bit of scrolling.

All instruments, production, mixing, mastering, liner notes, and artwork by me.

Recorded in my bedroom using entirely virtual MIDI instruments on a 37-key Yamaha CP Reface mini keyboard (drums included; played in by hand)
