Quantum Game Engine (Reprise)

New from the 2nd wave Detroit techno trio – Strand (Brian Bonds, Brian Boyer & Kech Harrington). Bringing the jazz infliuences to the foreground..

“Astral Plainsman” - A 4/4 excursion into a landscape of percussive funk driven by a soulful bassline and elevated by cosmic chordsmanship.

“Quantum Game Engine” - An epic homage to the video games Strand played as kids with an eye towards the future of immersive, seemingly boundless gameplay. Ethereal pads, a soaring topline, precision machine bass, and killer percussion combine to form a driving, yet funky, yet euphoric standout that goes from 8 bits to qubits.

“A Path Forward” - Techno and Jazz Fusion are brought together to create an Afro-futuristic trip through space, guided by an otherworldly melody that traverses expansive strings, exemplifying Strand’s knack for exploring unexpected trajectories.
