The Helio Sequence - Stoic Resemblance

When you pre-order our new Self-Titled album (out 5/19/2015) from Sub Pop, you get a copy of "The Sunrise Demos". An 11 track album of songs recorded and mixed in a 5 week period that didn't end up making the final LP6 (self-titled) Sub Pop album. Mastered by the Helio Sequence and unedited from the original demo, this is a rare glimpse into the behind the scene world of The Helio Sequence.

Here is another preview track from our Sunrise Demos album. Only available when preordering our new self-titled album from Sub Pop before May 19, 2015. Order here: https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/the_helio_sequence/the_helio_sequence

This track was pretty rough/raw and we had a lot of fun making it. We were going to flesh out and redo the vocals, but the song sounded too much like My Bloody Valentine to us... so we weren't really considering it for the album and consequently never got around to finishing it.

Lost Images (DEMO)

What exactly is Cozmo Lost in Reddit? 

Well to put it succinctly: a live streaming crowdsourced interactive gameplay commercial brand activation experience masterminded by forward thinking robotics company Anki and the advertising mavericks at Wieden+Kennedy Lodge (www.wklodge.com)in which participants navigated Cozmo the robot through a series of tasks in miniaturized virtual subreddit-based rooms IRL in order to win the game by helping Cozmo escape from the internet. Puppies, Shitty Shark Robots, geeky Zork-style text based gaming, destructive trebuchet launches and more. Everything you could want from a 6 hour live streamed event viewed by over 2 million people!

The Helio Sequence/Helio Sound (www.heliosound.co) provided the live/improvised composition and soundtrack for each of the 7 “levels” of gameplay as well “Cozmo’s Theme” for the intro and outro of the event.

"Gaming" is a chip tune romp referencing the RPG days of yore which accompanied Cozmo's adventures playing the vintage text-based game "Cube Quest '85."

"Rare Puppers" is a bouncy, cute, and willfully cheesy strut harkening back to your fav 90’s cartoon themes which soundtracked Cozmo's time petting cute puppos and doggos and feeding them schmakos.

"Cozmo's Theme" is electronic with a human feel. Upbeat and smart. Busy and lovable. "Cozmo’s Theme" served as the intro and outro to the event and was the backbone of the musical experience. The main melody was integrated into all the pieces as a vamp section used to accompany gameplay action and all pieces were geared towards long term performance and improvisation.

"Shitty Robots" is angular, upbeat bleep-bloop grooviness. Definitely the right accompaniment to shitty shark induced destruction.
