Gratuity

Gratuity is a project comprised of studies of all-too-muchery; from the number of notes in each song to the sounds created by playing them.  The song cycle is partly a commentary on the overabundance of American consumerism, and partly an attempt to appeal to a generation who has seen and heard everything every way, by creating new and exciting song forms.  Most sounds were replications of classic analog synth sounds, combined with more modern electric drum kits. Give a listen, and enjoy!
