Meet the players...
At the heart of TPA are three distinct musicians, each with their own unique backgrounds and influences. Together, they blend their styles, intentions, and passion to create the essence of every song.
Aaron C. Young
Guitars & Cyberfunk
​
The modulation of the universe is the essence of lead guitarist Aaron Young’s style. Much like cosmic background radiation, Aaron defines the speed and rapid expansion of the universe in which these songs reside through his abrupt and smooth approach. Coalescence of matter is simulated in the collection of his contributions and his tone defines the foundation of the reality each song implies. Rather than intend to influence he aspires to inspire, and in such, nurtures the essence of creation at its core.
​
Joe Labrosse
Bass & Groove
Bass... and more bass...Take all the cliches about playing, in the pocket, holding down the groove and throw them out the window.Joe is a bassist with psychic powers. He predicts the destination and builds the journey. Joe lands his phrasings, cat like, on its feet.God of thunder? No... God of groove? Most definitely.
​
Michael Maxwell
Drums, Percussion, Random Chaos
​
Genetically programmed to navigate the divider between order and chaos, ElementalM's bombastic drum style is a biological mechanism. Part structured rudiments, part chaotic inflection, ElementalM hones percussion to a laser focus positioned center of each mix. Sometimes aloof and goofy, more often than not structured and deadpan serious, Michael's mantra is that quarter notes are for sissies and ethic outpaces the robot.

Meet the guests...
The musicians who have contributed their talents to enhance specific pieces of TPA music.
Jacob Wilford
Vocals
​
As a world traveler, Jacob takes inspiration from local influences. His balladeer days saw him traveling through the deepest reaches of the Andes where his story begins... Jacob's style reflects his penchant for the impossible and need to penetrate the deepest corners of the psyche. He focuses on what he knows and encourages you to let slip reality even if for a brief moment.
​
Bob Wall
Vocals
​
Bob Wall creates a sense of days past with his smoky vocals and intentional inflection of narrative phrasing.Building each song to a tantric state, Bob Wall's lyrics are both seductive and distractive.If you thought you heard a metaphorical phrasing it was intentional and decisive.
​
Jason Kidd
Vocals
​
Jason's gruff vocals balance out a club feel with an intimate setting. Taking us to a place that's familiar yet somehow foreign, Jason's synced approach to a performance adds depth and reason to the setting.
​
Dylan Kronenberg
Guitar
​
Dylan emphasizes the underlying tones of each song he participates. He creates a youthful yet serious tone that reminds us to embrace the moment and have fun doing it.
​
Magdalen Young
Horns
​
Magdalen pushes the envelope and connects the spaces between with her brass. Harmonious and bright, the sounds that emanate are both exact and ethereal.
