Chapter One: The Clocks Have Gone Mad is an eclectic concept album that shares twelve unique adventures of a curious clock named Larsamel Raibn who faces obsoleteness in a universe where time ceases. It is an uplifting journey of transformation from mechanical thinking to inspired living, fear to freedom and from a place that exists as a series of now moments to a place that exists as one eternal now.

Chapter One masterfully blends a myriad of genres including classical, jazz, exotica, world and experimental jamtronica to form a signature style Marsella calls "Jazzotica."
