Bipolar Dimensions

Bipolar Dimensions, a solo project by Richard Grahn, explores a wide range of musical styles from gentle melodies to spacey dissonance. Grahn, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type, uses music as his medicine and his debut album, Electric Rain, serves as a concept album on mental illness. His upcoming releases, Toybox and Stranglehold, delve into virtual modular synthesis and abstract, improvisational sounds, showcasing his diverse musical talents. Influenced by artists like Frank Zappa and Mahler, Grahn's music reflects a raw and defiant spirit, embodying his passion for artistic expression.

Grahn, a multi-talented artist with a background in Fine Arts, poetry, and photography, channels his creativity primarily through music. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musicians such as Pat Metheny and Return to Forever, he creates eclectic and experimental soundscapes that push the boundaries of conventional music. With a dedication to improvisation and a love for the art form, Grahn's work exemplifies the sentiment expressed by Mary on Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" album: "Music is the best."
