Hey look, I made an EP!

It's available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, and many other services.

Fans of jazz-funk will be most at home, but I touch on other genres as well.

-Wesley Larlarb, composer, performer, and producer of Banana Cycles

Wesley Larlarb, age 16, lives in Burlingame, CA. Much of his training comes from the Stanford Jazz Workshop, where he's performed in small ensembles directed by luminaries such as Marquis Hill and Regina Carter. His primary instrument is piano, but he is also a proficient drummer. Wesley is currently studying under Jake Smolowe.

The idea for Banana Cycles, his debut album, came as Wesley rode alone through the hills around his house. Reflecting on the past year, he realized that many of his most defining experiences were punctuated by biking and eating bananas. Over several months, he recorded several songs, each about a different experience.

Songs

Late Start

I woke up late and biked to school. Meaningless, chaotic motions.

People Say I'm Crazy

People said I was crazy. I couldn't hear them through my headphones.

The Banana Cycle

Having finished my homework, I pondered life and bananas.

Orange Shadows

I took a walk, late at night. I was unsure if I was shivering from the cold, or something else...

Bike Rack

My head was spinning in this one, broh.

All You Can Really Ask For

As some doors closed, others opened. Science.
