The Moon Unit + Instant Alter

INSTANT ALTER is a new project formed by saxophonist Emilio Modeste and vocalist

Natasha Agrama.

INSTANT ALTER features drummer Miguel Russell and bassist Ryo Takenaga.

INSTANT ALTER is a reorientation into a new way. A new aesthetic and a new story.

These four virtuosic artists join together in service of the art of storytelling, creating a

new thread of music as super-bands of the past have done – such as Return to Forever

– while integrating grounded Earth Songs that call to the Brazilian Tropicália movement.

Within this musical vessel lies an engine room fueled by a powerful and inimitable

Bass-and-Drum connection.

INSTANT ALTER follows in the spirit of the storytellers that have graced our journeys,

offering a fresh sense of melody and rhythm, leading the way to deep feeling, healing

and consciousness.

INSTANT ALTER’s debut record is produced by Stanley Clarke and Lenny White

(Clarke is also bandleader to Modeste and Agrama).

INSTANT ALTER is the point of change between sensitivity and earth-shaking calls for

reflection; between expansion and deep dives into learning and unlearning; between a

global sentiment and an individual experience.

INSTANT ALTER is happening in every living moment.
