About Monarch Particle
Our Sonic Journey
We all have had challenges in our lives, and a common threads that live at the core of rock and roll is a shared experience of hardship, struggle, heartache, and rebellion. But in equal measure, the crescendo's of love, life, happiness, and joy.
Monarch Particle is the brainchild of a technologist and musician, with a goal of creating music that not only bares his soul but also harmonizing with the lives of others.
Growing up listening to a broad variety of music, from country, pop, R&B, and yes, when stuck in a car with my parents on road trips, sometimes listening to Broadway show tunes.
Music and integrity has always been at our core, and although we use AI in the creation of our music, it is merely a tool in our studio full of instruments - guitars, basses, mics, computers, etc. - that we use to craft our stories and life experiences into messages of hope, overcoming obstacles, and encouragement.
Your Questions Answered
Who plays what instruments on your music?
Our goal is not to elevate ourselves, and in fact, we feel Monarch Particle is an entity in and of itself, which is the sum of all of its talented parts, that deserves the attention. All one needs to do is look back at the legacy of some of the biggest rock bands in the history of rock and roll to see how it can poison a single member whose ambitions become bigger than sum of all its parts, permanently damaging the music and the hearts of the people who helped make the band what it eventually became, before disintegration.
Therefore, we prefer to remain anonymous and let Monarch Particle stand on its own two feet.
Where are you located?
Monarch Particle is based in the USA, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, within driving distance of Portland, Oregon, which helps fuel our creativity and passion.
