131 is a classical concept album built around three works that speak across centuries:
Enthusiasm Strategies — Missy Mazzoli
19|20 — Sean Neukom
String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131 — Ludwig van Beethoven
Each work stands powerfully on its own, but when heard as a complete album, a deeper narrative emerges. 131 traces a journey from fragmentation — in art, in culture, in the human experience — toward clarity, purpose, and renewal.
The album invites listeners to hear Beethoven not as a monument, but as a living voice in dialogue with today’s composers. It is both reflective and forward-looking, grounded in tradition while unapologetically contemporary.

NeuKraft Records
Heart Sleeve Triptych is Beo’s debut release on its in-house label, NeuKraft Records — a concept album shaped by vulnerability, intensity, and emotional risk.
Works by:
Kyle Sanna — Sequence for Minor White
Kerrith Livengood — This Is My Scary Robot Voice
Felix Mendelssohn — String Quartet in A minor
Together, these pieces form a psychological arc exploring what it means to live with one’s heart exposed — to feel deeply, openly, and without protection. The album moves between fragility and force, introspection and urgency, allowing emotion itself to become the organizing principle.
This release marked a turning point for Beo: an assertion of artistic identity, self-production, and long-form storytelling through recorded sound.
