Chris Cochrane – unhinged

released digitally September 5th, 2025

I invite you to listen to “unhinged” as a whole.The intention was to have the listener experience it in this way. It was conceived to unfold as chapters, referencing material, introducing and subtracting various elements throughout, and at times possibly folding back in on itself. Listen, and re-visit as you will.
