CALYPSO

COMPOSER / SONGWRITER / MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST

born from fusion of the punk and chamber worlds, CALYPSO fuses genres and experiments with soundscapes to accompany anti-establishment and environmentally conscious lyrics. he thrives in the avant-garde, writing string quartets and arpeggiated melodies to create something just strange enough to not be radio friendly.

MAJOR MOTION MONSTER
OCT. 7TH, 2022

MAJOR MOTION MONSTER IS A SHORT CONCEPT ALBUM THEMED AROUND FINDING AN OLD, HAUNTED VHS TAPE. THE TRACKS ARE NAMED AFTER HORROR CLASSICS, AND TAKE INSPIRATION FROM EACH RESPECTIVE MOVIE IN THE LYRICAL CONTENT AND INSTRUMENTATION.

CREATURE / DEC. 6TH, 2021

CALYPSO’s debut, Creature, is the 12 track sermon of an edgy teenager forming his demonic persona. The short but wordy tracks are mostly written out of anger, in response to his experiences with homophobia, desperation, and a lack of identity.
The instrumentals, vocal production, and lyrics take influence from vocaloid and dark pop of 2019-2021.
