Changing The Design is the passionately-aggressive musical project developed by multi-instrumental, singer-songwriter, Alan D. Griffith.

Changing The Design is founded on the truth that we are never truly who we were yesterday, and not quite who we will be tomorrow. Everything in life generates a specific energetic-nuance, which creates an emotional charge.

Translating this emotional charge into profound lyrics and vocals, powerful guitars, evocative melodies and intense drums, Changing The Design utilizes music as the conduit to connect with people on a deeper level.

Connection and expression are paramount to Changing The Design and this is evident in the latest album release, Soul Dissection Experiment. This release was produced and recorded by Tom Gordon (Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne), mixing by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down), and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Metallica, Incubus).

Blending fierce hard rock songs with ethereal undertones, this Soul Dissection Experiment takes the audience on a personal journey ranging from artist perspective, passion, loss of life, the horror story of love and the universal human condition.

Each piece evokes the timeless feelings of oneness and belonging, emphasizing the importance of self-expression and the freedom that comes with being who you truly are.

When writing songs Alan is guided by emotion: \u201cMy writing is sparked by an overwhelming feeling or emotion that I can't quite explain or relieve. I will then sit and focus... With guitar in hand, I start playing to find which vibrations feel like the right connection to my emotion.

When that powerful connection happens, the rest of the instruments fall into place in my brain. Once the music side has been meticulously written, I take time to reflect. I then write lyrics about the emotion I felt when I was writing the music.\u201d

But writing is only half of the equation, as the live show is where Changing The Design is truly able to portray the deep meaning of the songs, with an energetic and magnetic stage-presence.

Accompanied by phenomenal drummer Brian Walden (Mnemonic, Days No Different) and bassist (Harold Gutierrez), this show is one that is not to be missed.

Alan has spent years creating his art and in addition to playing, has extensive experience engineering and producing. Musical expression is the only way he knows to navigate this world and his goal is to transpose the universal feelings that we all feel but are unable to articulate.

Always evolving, always changing, we are Changing The Design.
