Brian Marsella's iMAGiNARiUM is an All-Star lineup of the highest calibur musicians in today's world and often can be found performing with Trey Anastasio (Phish), Sting, YoYo Ma, David Byrne, John Zorn, Matisiyahu, Herbie Hancock, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, Vieux Farka Toure, Salif Kieta, Yemen Blues, Spyro Gyra, Cassandra Wilson, Wynton Marsalis, James Taylor, Bobby McFerrin, Jay-Z, Snoop Dog, Santana, and more! This septet consists of Brian Marsella (keyboards), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Tim Keiper (drums), John Lee (guitar), Dan Blankenship (trumpet), Meg Okura (violin), and Jason Fraticelli (bass) and engages in Marsella's concept of timelessness realized in his iMAGiNARiUM: The Clocks Have Gone Mad.

The Clocks Have All Gone Mad has been described as an “eclectic concept album that masterfully blends jazzotica, classical, ambient and world elements.” Yet it tells only part of Brian Marsella’s story, and once that story unfolds it’s not difficult to understand why time is something to which he gives a lot of thought. Time, for Brian Marsella, as long as he can remember, has been a measurement of his evolution as a musician and The Clocks Have Gone Mad has excited him the most. It’s the music he feels closest to right now. “I feel like music always needs to tell a story, and one of my issues with a lot of modern jazz is that the storytelling is secondary to the music and the musicianship. With this record, I was not trying to make an album for musicians or for critics. I was making an album of music that I would want to hear.”
