About the Album
The music of Multiversal: Live at Bop Stop is another foray into the world of comic books and superheroes. The SPHJO’s original album, Smash!, established this theme for my large ensemble music and the nerd in me is ecstatic to continue paying homage to this vast bibliography of characters. The multiverse has been used as a plot device for many classic stories in comic books and broader popular culture. Imagine a parallel world (or Worlds) to our own that contain an infinite number of differences that range from minute to monumental. The boundless concept of the multiverse leads to limitless possibilities in storytelling.
“Covert Ops” takes the listener into the realm of espionage and spy-craft. The harmonic progression nods to the British spy of MI6 while the orchestra adds tension and excitement to this tenor feature.
