Release Info

This album began in early 2011 under a more controversial theme of what some would call illumination. After working on the early mixes for months, I totally abandoned and forgot about the project. I still held on to the cover art knowing I would come back to working on this album again. Fast forward to 2013, at the end of the Portal sessions while going through a stack of cd’s, I discovered a sample library of vocals that I had for years and forgot about. I was instantly inspired at the choirs and religious chants that were in this library. I began writing and arranging music around these heavenly vocal beds and Gregorian chants. I soon realized that this new music was to be Illuminoid. I scrapped all the previous material and began anew. After a few months of inspired, deeply spiritual sessions, the album revealed itself like a beam of sunlight through the clouds..
Thus, my seventh studio album Illuminoid was born.
