Deep Energy Orchestra - The Science of Sound (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

“The Science of Sound is about exploring how sound can communicate across genres, cultures, and traditions,” says Everett. “It’s a collaborative work that honors the strengths of every artist involved, while serving a larger musical vision.”

The Science of Sound is the third album from Deep Energy Orchestra, led by composer and bassist Jason Everett (aka Mister E). Conceived and led by composer, producer, and bassist Jason Everett (aka Mister E), the album represents a culmination of global collaboration, complex composition, and genre-defying instrumentation.

Following the ensemble’s critically acclaimed albums Playing With Fire (2018) and The Return (2020), this new release builds on the orchestra’s distinctive fusion of Indian classical rhythms, progressive rock, jazz, funk, and orchestral textures.

The album features eight compositions, seven of which were written by Everett, with additional works contributed by John Wubbenhorst (“The Dancers”) and U. Rajesh with Ganesh Kumar (“Fireflies”). Each piece reflects Everett’s commitment to exploring rhythmically advanced and melodically rich material while remaining grounded in ensemble interplay.

Tracks like “Morning Over Madrid” and “Solar Playground” balance compositional precision with space for improvisation. “Captain Quirk” highlights Deninzon and Lettieri in tight counterpoint, while “The Secrets of Subtraction” explores tension and release through intricate string arrangements. The closing track, “Stargazing,” offers a meditative resolution that underscores the album’s emotional breadth.
