Alpha Particles: Watching The Light Change

ALPHA PARTICLES is the musical imprint of Los Angeles-based singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist producer Allen Morris.

Starting as an experimental photography project in 2013, Alpha Particles quickly morphed into a music project, with a band forming around the few songs I had written and playing our first shows from 2014 through 2016, then recording and releasing the eponymous Alpha Particles (2016). By 2017, I began to focus on solo performance, which influenced the subsequent release of Fly By Wire (2017) and its surrounding tours and shows over the next two years. The events of 2020 as we know completely changed the landscape of the world in every sense, and my world was no different; it forced me into a state of introspection and taking stock of my identity and my values. This was evident in the release of The North Fork EP (2020) and Dancing On The Breeze (2020), both works highlighting the brevity of life and its preciousness.

2023 was a year of pivoting and realignment; I revisited songs that had been a part of me for the better part of two decades, reworking them and recording them from the perspective of who I am now. Releasing them (The Drifter, The Tree Still Bleeds, Tomorrow Was Yesterday, Highway One) to the public was a breath of fresh air and a new beginning for me. 2024 you will see the release of two full length records, the first of which is called Watching The Light Change which will chronicle my journey from where we last left off, seeing life from the world whizzing by at 60 miles per hour on the open highway with hopes of the future seen through the golden light of the setting sun at the end of the day. I hope that you and I can take this roadtrip together; I can assure you it will be a memorable one.
