I am proud to announce my newest LP, Cimiotti - Homelife (CIM-016). This LP was largely crafted in my bedroom in Queens at the height of the COVID pandemic. It was a time of immense personal and professional change for me. I was processing the end of my life as a member of Beirut, and the start of my life as a parent and Transformational Coach. It was a time of deep introspection that couldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and community.
I was using this music production as a way of documenting my inner world. I was inspired by the work of artists like Rodelius, Fripp & Eno, and Ashra (to name a few). It is mostly guitar based work supported by synthesizers. This record is entirely instrumental.
This album is dedicated to my family, Jessie, Carlo, and Roma.
