Luscious and dazzling, Julian Mudd showcases his unconventional theatrical storytelling and multi-layered production with his debut release “Growing Pains.” The track continues to stimulate and restimulate your sensation with a variety of new and fascinating sonic elements. Dreamful twirling orbs melts in the wah-wah guitar soundscape, “Growing Pains” is a song that you can never get tired of.
Almost too good to be true, the captivating chorus whispers into your ear with its almost overly addictive melodies and soft, ethereal voice, planting the roots in your head. It only occurred for two times, but it hits you hard and continues to echo in your head even after the music has stopped.
Combining Julian Mudd’s background in music theatre, pop production, and software engineering, the debut release “Growing Pains” was created around the vision to merge generative music with NFTs where listeners could interact with the music and create their own version of the story. Revolving around the theme of change, where one has to take the frightening first step away from the comfortable, “Growing Pain” taps into this experience with its sonic storytelling.
