That focus on narrative fed into his own work, which combined elements of cinematic composition with jazz and rock like he has created in the past. His latest album \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyhow \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003efeatures \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhitty \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eon guitar, synthesizer, woodwinds, production, composition and strings. Narrative is built into each of Whitty's tracks in some way. Rather than a specific story, he drew from photographic or cinematic sources.
