A thematic album, "1/2" infuses equal portions straight-ahead rock, big-band samba, electronica, punk (real punk), odd-meter jazz and even a slice of zither music for those with a taste for the eclectic.
Bio / Background
"1/2" is inspired, in part, by the novella "Half" by MacEckney Shin. It concerns the misadventures of absurdist dissident/courier Max Fallon.
"Let's push an envelope, shake things up, commit random acts of absurdity - you don't live once. Most of the time, you only live half."
"1/2" runs the gamut of straight-up rock, electronica, big band samba, and pure power punk pop. Over the span of 15 songs, Plessas explores a theme of truly living when living simply, honestly, and humorously. The following four songs represent a cross-section of the highly eclectic album. "Butterfly Knife" is airy, yet driven. This cerebral and textured piece deals with personal power through the gift of speech, along with its benefits and consequences. Odd-metered and damply produced, "Ergonomic Self" is a mantric song examining PTSD and efforts to reform one's self to survive.
