COMPOSED BY CHASE
"I’ve been capturing sound since 2002, when I first picked up a blue TASCAM 424 MKIII Portastudio. Just me, cheap drug store blank cassette tapes, and my imagination. What started as simple experiments with recording quickly became an obsession, and a way to communicate what I couldn't express with words.
The four-string bass guitar will always be my favorite instrument to play, but I consider myself a multi-instrumentalist, but don't expect to hear any virtuosity. That said, if it makes a sound, I’ll make music with it. Whether it’s the crackle of analog tape or the hum of digital machinery, I find the magic in the imperfections.
For years, I’ve been creating music almost every day, nonstop. As a result, my library has grown vast, and I’m slowly finding the courage to release it in ways that feel authentic and accessible.
This page is where I share my self-released albums, fragments of me, shaped by years of trial, error, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect imperfection. These sounds might surprise you, challenge you, or even shift how you listen to music. Take a listen, maybe you’ll find something you didn’t expect." - Chase

"Lorem Ipsum"(2020)
Recorded and released during the COVID-19 pandemic, this debut album captures the emotional weight of isolation through lush and chaotic orchestral movements. Blurring the lines between a movie soundtrack and a deeply personal soundscape, each piece tells a story, sometimes haunting, sometimes breathtaking, always deeply evocative.
​
Layered with grand, sweeping arrangements and raw, unfiltered emotion, the music shifts between beauty and brutality, reflecting the highs and lows of solitude. It’s a world of contrast, where soaring melodies collide with turbulent undertones, and where even the most delicate moments hold an edge of intensity. This is more than an album; it’s an experience

"Peekaboo"(2023)
Written in the summer of 2005 specifically for MySpace and released in 2023, Peekaboo is a time capsule of unfiltered creativity, packed with 17 unpredictable tracks that refuse to sit still. Originally recorded on a TASCAM Portastudio, plugged directly into a computer, the album captures the raw energy of its era, lo-fi, experimental, and full of surprises.
From chaotic bursts of sound to oddly catchy melodies, Peekaboo is as playful as it is unpredictable. Whether it’s a song that shifts genres mid-track or a melody that sticks in your head for days, this album keeps you guessing at every turn.

"The Kingdom of Back"(2015)
Some albums tell stories, this one blurs the line between dream and delusion. The Kingdom of Back is a symphonic fever dream, where eerie lullabies, sweeping orchestral movements, and hallucinatory soundscapes pull listeners into a reality that feels just a little...off.
It’s a world where the ground shifts beneath you, where cartoonish melodies turn sinister, and where a disgruntled, chain-smoking snail named Glenn mourns the death of everybody he knows. Strange, surreal, and utterly unpredictable, this album is both an escape and a firm reminder to always take your medication.

"Frankie Paladino"(2023)
Is Frankie Paladino a musical alter ego or just Chase Alan Willis with less filter and a lot more distortion? Frankie Paladino is a collection of recordings made between 2005 and 2009, later remastered and released in 2023. It’s a journey through raw, unpolished sound, filled with distorted guitars and spontaneous, genre-blurring tracks.
This album embraces the imperfection of the moment, where one take is all you get and perfection has no place. It’s a chaotic love letter to the early days of creation, untamed, unrefined, and completely unapologetic.

"Bipolar Movements in stereo"(2023)
"Bipolar Movements in Stereo" wasn’t written, it was captured. Recorded through months of unmedicated mania and despair, this album is a document of extremes, where sound becomes a direct reflection of chaos and clarity colliding. Lead bass lines drive the pulse, cutting through layers of harpsichord runs, unsettling organ swells, and orchestral interludes that ebb and crash like waves, shifting between serene beauty and intense disarray. The instrumentation twists and turns, never staying in one place for long, one moment intricate and hypnotic, the next bold and aggressive, mirroring the unpredictable tides of the mind that shaped it.
This isn’t a polished product, it’s an event, a raw and unfiltered transmission from the edge. The melodies haunt, the rhythms lure, and the entire experience refuses to settle into expectation. It’s not just an album; it’s a visceral journey through the sound of a mind unraveling and reassembling, over and over again
