In The Round is the second album of Canadian progressive rock artist, Tristan Zaba. The last album, Thoughts Past Pondered, was released in 2012. This one differs in the sense that it has a much more unifying concept, slightly more atypical music, a large and diversified group of musicians, and more varied instrumentation. Some of the more non-standard instruments featured on the album include clarinet, flute, strings, and glockenspiel. 　　 　　The concept revolves around a character named Morgan and his pursuit of inner peace. The antagonist comes in the form of The Watchman, another facet of Morgan's personality counteracting the more dominant side of Morgan's character. 　　 　　The album was thoroughly rehearsed by a band of Tristan Zaba, Russell Empey, Quinn Maubach, and Aaron Patton for many months leading up to the recording. All the songs were recorded overtop of completely live rhythm guitar and drum tracks by Russell and Aaron in the studio. There has been no tone correction or added virtual performances on the album. It was all recorded by real people playing in a studio. All the solos were also recorded completely live so as to preserve the sense of spontaneity. 　　 　　Thank you very much for your interest in this album. This music has meant a lot to everyone involved and we all sincerely hope you enjoy it.
