Tyler Sabbag Novella

Six pieces and sixteen minutes in length, Novella (Tyler Sabbag, composer) plays like a half-remembered summer set against the Mediterranean coast, an enchanting dreamscape shaped more by longing than historical fact.At once familiar and unknown, it's cinematic yet jazz-leaning, orchestral, percussive, and experimental, but always in search of beauty, always seeking to connect listeners with the delight of living.The ensemble is generously lush, featuring strings by Stockholm Studio Orchestra, harp by Laura Somogyi, saxophones and woodwinds by Ted Taforo, brass by Dave Nelson, guitar, bass, and keys by Duncan Thum, vibraphone and marimba by Tommy Kesecker, bass by David Tranchina, and more guitar by Jimmy Dee, along with the uniquely abundant drums and percussion of Emmy-winner Tyler Sabbag himself.It was composed in 2024 and recorded in Joshua Tree, Stockholm, Altadena, and New York. It was mixed by Tyler Sabbag in Joshua Tree and mastered by Jett Galindo in Los Angeles.
