Stray Neurons Vol. 1 (intstrumental Album)
I spent most of 2011 focusing on my emceeing - which is definitely my main priority in music - but I also produce. I hadn’t made beats in about 8 months when I started to dive into the crates around Christmas 2011. My initial intention was just to vibe out to some old tunes but my sampling ear came back out of nowhere, then boom a week later I had this set of beats and remixes on my hands....
WatchThis is a joint I put together in between working on projects. Produced by myself.
The final leak from Classics for Free Vol. 1 is produced by my homie Rawhead (http://rawhead.bandcamp.com/) from Albany/Glen Falls. We met while I was there on tour in summer 2011. There is an additional Rawhead track on the project and we have plans to work on a focused vinyl/digital release for 2012 featuring this jazzy styled yet raw combination.

I’ll be releasing an LP in Fall 2012 produced by ClymaX - that is far down the road with many releases to come earlier, but we wanted to give people a really early teaser of what we are working on. This track “My Minds Clouded” was the first track we recorded and is/will be a regular in my live set.
Stray Neurons? wtf?
This tumblr is all about Sinapse (me) and whatever I’m all about. I’m a husband/father/teacher/scientist living in the Philadelphia area - and I make music (emceeing and production). I’ll be posting my music, as well as bonus content and lyrics - the story behind the music for those that are interested. It won’t ALL be shameless plugging though, I’ll be blogging about...
