Toxic Masquerade
This 7 track album was written and recorded over the span of 2021 to 2022, in the midst of societal upheaval and presumed global chaos… This caused a lot of people to question the status quo and whether or not this world and the people on it were even worth saving… Some lashed out at those around them; others began to look inward… Writing this album was a way for me to really ask myself what I truly believe in and analyze the lens through which I view the world… What philosophies I admire, what societal norms I despise, what kind of people I seek to surround myself with, and what kind of person I truly want to be… Some of these songs are autobiographical, some are pulled from stories or lectures of various philosophers, some are about fevered dreams I experienced under intense emotional pressure, some are written from the perspective of others in an attempt to better understand their point of view; but ultimately all are rooted in the same underlying concept of developing self reliance, personal identity, strengthening your core community; and above all, forging your own path and staying true to yourself… -All Music and Lyrics by Case Federal

Excaeco
This 18 track Instrumental, Ambient, Experimental, Solo Piano Album came to be in the winter of 2021; and is and exploration of the fine line between tonality and atonality. Heavily inspired by my love of mythology and classical music; these songs were written, performed and recorded in a pitch black bedroom studio in Cheshire Oregon while watching documentaries. Its compositions rely more on the senses of touch and hearing rather than sight and work to serve as an overall single track.
