"Things Fall Apart" is an eight-part instrumental track about the state of the Earth following the collapse of humanity. It's a story told through melodic, ambient, and experimental passages. Rather than focus on lead guitar parts, I went for more cohesive instrumental segments by using rhythm-based guitar and keyboards/synthesizers to provide depth to the sound. I made the artwork in Adobe Sketch on my iPad. This is also the first recording to feature my bass guitar playing.

Thanks for listening!
