Platinum

A pivot toward shorter, punchier structures. Shimmering guitar leads meet disco-funk basslines and unexpected jazz-pop flourishes.

It's the one where the Tubular Bells guy discovers funk and jazz-pop and actually makes it work.

A bright, rhythmic curiosity that balances technical precision with a newfound sense of pop playfulness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the funky, slap-bass driven groove of Platinum Part 2

The eerie, circular vibraphone patterns that define the hypnotic Woodhenge

The sudden, jarring shift into a 1920s Charleston rhythm mid-suite
