Time Piece

Brian Charette
Duration: 3:00

This is track 2 from the new album, “Like the Sun" The tunes are recorded live with drum machines and synths. this video. I love drum and bass music which this track is a nod to. The melody is minimal and optimistic. Most people say this is their favorite tune on the album. It's meant to be light and uplifting to take people's mind of the current problems in the world
