Suite No. 2:
World Keeps Spinning
An Antidote to Modern Anxiety
Suite No. 2 World Keeps Spinning: An Antidote to Modern Anxiety is a classically-inspired concept album released as part two of a series of ‘Suites’- songs and pieces united by a theme - that explores concepts such as modern anxiety and the search for acceptance and unity.
World Keeps Spinning invites the listener on a beautiful, all-encompassing emotional journey toward the discovery of our need for each other. Created in collaboration with Biola University Orchestra and Chorus, Suite No. 2 features full orchestra and choir, and a sprawling, eclectic sound, with diverse sonic influences from Bach and Stravinsky to Jon Brion and The Beatles.
