Episode 1-
Tasty Beats & Fine Cuts



We humbly present the Return of GALACTIC STACKS: The Adventures of the Captain and Lieutenant, an audio adventure produced by Arhanta Studio Member Norm Scott.

Comprised of beats, grooves, samples, live scratches, melodies and auditory textures, GALACTIC STACKS will feature drums performed by our very own B.J. Capelli (lifted straight from our Beat Roots Libraries), with accompanying visual art works by fellow member Camilo Nascimento; plus periodic collaborations with other artists in the greater Ithaca area and beyond.
