This is years of hard work and dedication, and I hope you enjoy every listen. Play it for the whole family.
From the Private Collection of Saba & No I.D. Out now.
It was an immense honor to engineer this album and see it through the finish line (with the exception of track 6), contribute to additional mixing throughout, and lend background vocals/vocal production on tracks 12 & 14.
@sabapivot + @cubansoze — endless gratitude to you , @pivotgang and the whole family for trusting me with your sound. The alchemy of these rooms, the lessons, the laughs—moments I’ll always carry with the deepest respect and gratitude. Congratulations to the entire team on the release.
P.S - I still can’t find the words. Honestly, I still trip thinking about how, 10 years ago, I was riding around LA listening to Comfort Zone when I should have been in Algebra class… I always knew those days would count for something…
P.S.S - SHOUTOUT BIG TOM

“Closing Night”
The last bow.
POV: you are looking at THE youngest Black Composer (of 3 total) on the Westcoast to enter in this space. God Did.
Thank you Tyrone, Neil, Anna and Gregg for trusting me with your sound: it was a true wild ride, a real privilege to work under your direction and leadership.
Thank you cast and fellow crew members for your dedication, your smiles your laughter and tears and encouragement through this process.
Thank you for your support CTG and thank you to everyone who made it out to see the show.

Volume 3 centers quiet listening for working hours.
The BSA index is a growing record of the continuums that define our field: noise, performance, improvisation, ritual, ambient, jazz-adjacent, diasporic rhythm, electronic, and the undefinable in between. Every selection becomes a point of reference: signal in the archive.
