INSTANT ALTER is the debut album by INSTANT ALTER, a project formed around saxophonist Emilio Modeste and vocalist Natasha Agrama. The album features a stellar lineup including Kassa Overal and Julius Rodriguez, and was produced by Lenny White and Stanley Clarke. Interweaving original compositions with reinterpreted classical pieces, this album delivers a genre-defying sound that blends jazz, progressive rock, electronic music, and the spirit of Brazil’s Tropicália movement. Each track is imbued with a bold experimental spirit, from the interstellar-sounding “Con Polaris” to the explosive, propulsive “Nothing New,” the psychedelic “Focus (Garnet),” and the Carlos Santana-inspired “Golden Dawn.” The album also includes songs that evoke prayer and soulful resonance, such as “Fruit Of…,” “No Need,” and a cover of Caetano Veloso’s “Oração Ao Tempo” featuring Kassa Overall and Stanley Clarke. Although the band is a quartet featuring drummer Miguel Russell and bassist Ryoma Takenaga, the lack of chordal instruments allows for a free and unpredictable interplay. Their music, both delicate and explosive, is imbued with a cinematic narrative quality, inviting listeners into a world of adventure and introspection. Inheriting the spirit of groundbreaking creators like Miles Davis, Prince, Björk, and George Lucas, INSTANT ALTER resurrects the spirit of past superbands like Return to Forever and Living Colour. Their debut album is a statement that simultaneously challenges and heals, transporting listeners to a new dimension.

Through diverse collaborations with leading jazz artists such as Stanley Clarke, Christian McBride, Kassa Overall, Julius Rodriguez, Thundercat, and Kamasi Washington, they have created a cinematic musical expression that invites listeners into unknown worlds of adventure and healing. Working as a quartet featuring Miguel Russell (drums) and Ryoma Takenaga (bass), INSTANT ALTER weaves musical threads that evoke the legacy of superbands like Return to Forever, while also incorporating the spirit of Brazil’s Tropicália movement and the cutting-edge sensibilities of punk and metal, as exemplified by Living Colour, to create new sounds and narratives. Amidst the diverse forms of “fusion,” INSTANT ALTER balances intensity with delicacy, drawing on the spirit of artists like George Lucas, Björk, Miles Davis, and Prince, who have forged their own worlds without being bound by genre or form, creating a universe that transcends existing boundaries. Their music lies somewhere between sensitivity and powerful introspection, reflecting moments of transformation that move between expansion and reflection, between shared emotion and personal experience.
