Featured Projects

The Pursuit Paradox

A collection of essays that trace the tension between striving and meaning—exploring how the very act of pursuit shapes identity, motivation, and fulfillment. Merging a lifetime of work in music, digital design, and multimedia with rigorous neuroscience research, these writings move beyond anecdote to offer real, grounded insights into substantial cognitive processes and how they affect creativity, memory, and reinvention. Rooted in the ALONSO.studio philosophy, these essays reveal how meaning often arises not at the finish line, but within the complexities of the chase itself.

Glueleg: Horror Vacui

Glueleg’s Horror Vacui is the band’s final, definitive statement—a double vinyl album that captures the innovative spirit and sonic complexity that defined their career. Known for their distinctive blend of heavy grooves, soaring horns, and the unmistakable sound of the Chapman Stick, Glueleg carved out a unique place in Canada’s alternative music scene. Following critically acclaimed releases like Heroic Doses and Clodhopper, Horror Vacui pushes further, weaving dense textures and shifting dynamics into a bold, boundary-pushing farewell. Available now in the store, exclusively on vinyl.

ALONSO

ALONSO’s self-titled debut marks a bold musical return—an album of beautifully crafted songs. Praised for its musical diversity and intricate production, the album blends elements of world music, ambient electronica, and heartfelt songwriting. Each track offers a carefully composed, immersive listening experience, balancing technical precision with emotional depth. Alongside the debut, other releases—including S, XLIX, and Compendium of Spots—form a cohesive body of work, each offering a distinct sonic perspective. All available now on CD in the store.
