Brain Freeze - a concept album

For my final project, I made the first "side" of an album entitled Brain Freeze. It uses electronically composed music and narrative interludes to tell the story of a person who attempts to time travel, but gets stuck frozen in time. This is similar in concept to albums such as Hadestown or 2112, and is the first side of the "record". I used mainly Ableton Live and Musescore 3 to write and record this, using both MIDI files and live recordings to compose the work.


The deliverable is in the form of several WAV files and can be found here.
