Stride

"Stride" is a short collection of works based on some of my more popular Instagram videos. These are largely improvised performances that have been reworked into full tracks and presented in EP format.

This release marks a change in my musical career. Up until this point, Time Rival albums were mostly ambient soundscapes with piano and lush synthesizer pads. Music that was more rhythmic and beat driven in nature has historically been released under the name Supply Fi. After much thought, I have decided to release all music going forward as Time Rival, and drop the name Supply Fi. So what does this mean?

~ Back Catalog Supply Fi releases will still exist on Bandcamp, Spotify, and everywhere else they already exist

• Upcoming releases will all be under the name Time Rival and will be genre fluid, consisting of Ambient, Electronica, IDM, Downtempo, Neoclassical, Lo-Fi, Experimental, Film Score, Strange fusions of all of these, or something new that interests me.

• If you really were into my ambient albums, don't worry, there will be plenty more. You just may get some variety in between those.

Organizing my musical output this way will make it easier for me to be on top of social media & marketing, and also allow me to be more free creatively and not be confined by genre barriers.

Thank you for sticking with me!
