WILLITS LIVE – NOVEMBER 7th in LOS ANGELES

Next week I’ll be breaking away from the studio, for a trip to LA.

The show is free, and there will be lots of time to hang out afterwards. Come out and say hello!

This is some of the most intense music i have ever made.. very thick melodic soundscapes inspired by and dedicated to the ocean. We must heal the damage we have done. SOS for Fading Ocean Life
