Minor Deities by subtractiveLAD
The fusion of orchestral and choral elements with analogue synthesizers has given this album an epic / dynamic quality from beginning to end. The tracks have a strong narrative arc that weaves them to each other. There is an interplay between light and dark that plays out through the whole album.
Inspired, in part, by classical mythology (especially Ovid's Metamorphoses), this album examines the concept of transformation with the difficulties and the revelations that are embodied in the process.
"Music of this quality can move us toward something higher at the best of times, or at the very least exist as a reminder of our collective human potential, creativity, and spirituality. Minor Deities deserves that the act of listening be an act of intelligence - with the listener truly attending and adoring what they are hearing."
- Chuck van Zyl / STAR'S END RADIO
Recorded, mixed and mastered at 24 bit / 96 kHz for your high resolution pleasure.

Music has always been a central part of my life. Over the years, as I have developed as an artist, my music has become the primary filter through which I process my experiences and emotions. My creative approach is to use the recording studio as an instrument of expression - to use technology as an extension of physical performance. Improvisation is always a core part of my creative process.
