Today, Multi-instrumentalist and composer Theodore premiered his third single 'Disorientation' and announced the release date for his cascading LP Inner Dynamics on NPR's All Songs Considered. Where his previous album It Is But It's Not attempted to explore the interaction of opposing elements in the universe, Inner Dynamics finds Theodore looking inward to examine the dualities of his own identity in search of new creative potential. The album 'Disorientation” begins with mystifying whispers, and a pulsating bass until Theodore's heavy-hearted voice brings in dream-induced dramatism. Inner Dynamics features production by Vagelis Moschos and is set to be released on November 2.
