Somnamulonimbus by Sam Arnold
Progressive Rock Electro Jazz Fusion. Organic grooves and melodies deranged by spastic blasts of cheap symphonic synth excess and flowering chaos.
In May 2020, I started writing instrumental songs inspired by Chick Corea, Pryapisme, Secret Chiefs 3 and the global funk and fusion I was hearing in the air. Jazz and Prog virtuoso drummer Aaron Parks did a session with me at AMP studios in which he rained fire on 7 or my composed songs and 3 spontaneous performances, I filled in the rest in early 2021.
