With over a decade of composing and performing under his belt, Zack Falls is ready to make moves in 2019. The 27-year-old producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist has been a fixture on the Atlanta electronic scene for some time and was recently selected selected to be one of Kesha’s supporting DJs on Kesha’s Weird and Wonderful Rainbow Ride cruise to the Bahamas. Now, he’s looking to make an even bigger splash with the release of his latest single and video, “Come to Life.”

As a classically-trained pianist, Falls begins most of his compositions on the piano before adding textures, beats and other percussion to flush out his atmospheric soundscapes. But the inspiration for “Come to Life” came from a different source. One evening while in the studio, he began searching online for a cappellas and stumbled across the airy, silken vocals that help form the emotional core of the track. Galvanized by his find, Falls began experimenting with piano chords and quickly sketched out the makings of a backing track.

“I wanted to find a progression that was representative of my style, but also matched the emotion and mood of the singer’s performance,” he explains. “The general outline for the entire song came together in under ten minutes. I knew I had something cool and I just needed to fill in the blanks. From that point on, it was just splattering paint, trial and error until “Come To Life” was totally finished.”

Working with videographer Travis Baars, the accompanying video also came together fairly quickly. Faced with a low budget, the pair decided to take a performance approach and captured footage of Falls performing the song on the various instruments he uses when playing live. “It’s a pretty simple concept, but I think it came out great,” says Falls. “We plan to get a little weirder with the next one.”

Zack Falls will perform on Fri., Jan. 18 at Tucker Brewing Company. Doors open at 7 p.m.
