Overruled by Tyler Burchfield

"Overruled was written and produced from start to finish in February 2021 as part of the worldwide RPM challenge.

The concept was inspired by my musical fascinations, reflections in the midst of artistic and personal growth, and musings on the sociopolitical landscape throughout the course of the coronavirus pandemic. The album title has several meanings, referring to the multiple layers of anti-democratic 'over-rule' in modern society, the barely-sufficient victories we achieve amid the ugliness in the long road towards justice, and me finally "overruling" my long, irrational list of objections to releasing original material.

I recorded and produced each track using only the instruments and software available at home, presenting a simultaneously limiting and expansive palate for expression. The music consists of woodwind and synthesizer-heavy orchestration, drawing from modern jazz, rock, psychedelic, and chamber influences, with a particular motivation towards exploring my curiosity of electroacoustic effects.

Special thanks to Chris Wilson and John Baylies whose deep knowledge of mixing and electroacoustic music far surpass mine. Their skills and vision brought these tracks to the next level.

I hope you enjoy this small, quick, fulfilling February 2021 project."
