Rit Mo Collective

About Me

The Rit Mo Collective was founded by Composer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Farrell in November of 2005. The group draws upon elements of World, Contemporary Jazz, Americana, Funk, and Classical Indian music to create lush cinematic soundscapes and dynamic improvisations. The debut album, "Arianna's Thread," was digitally released in February, 2009 and is currently available on Itunes and CD Baby.
