Moonlight Under the Black Flag

SamInAz This is a beautiful piece of work. I know we don't like comparisons ... but just for some context ... this is on a par with Max Richter or Nils Frahm. Complex, intriguing undertones, and an intelligent arc of emotion. I find myself standing in the room ... lost in thought ... absorbed by this music.
As a TPOS fan, I must say this work is in the same vein, but certainly a step up in complexity and emotion. Progress is good !
Good work Josh.

about

My solo debut album, Moonlight Under the Black Flag, is a concept album documenting my journey after esophageal cancer diagnosis. It is a dark classical crossover composed and performed entirely by myself as a means to purge the rollercoaster of emotions pent up inside my mind. It is a 17 track album with a runtime of 1:01:44.
