"Armed with synthesizers and an nostalgic affinity for '80s video game soundtracks, Irming conjures an artificial world of high-tech joy, pop music for Donkey Kong to jam to." - All About Jazz

"... exhilarating blast of jazz fusion, synth-pop, and electro funk ... Imagine Kraftwerk composing a theme for an Atari 2600 cartridge." - JazzCorner

"... sets the bar higher, pushing the boundaries of electronic music ... a musical journey across various textures, ideas, and melodic invention ... a winning combination of atonal experimentation and harmonic richness" - No Depression

"... this album is a one stop shop for all sorts of tasty treats ... honestly one of the coolest things I've heard this year." - Chiptunes = WIN

"... radiates the 80s feel ... iconic sound and hooks ... face melting solos throughout ..." - Chip Bit Sid

A retro-electro-jazz concept album consisting of songs created exclusively using FM synthesizers and lo-fi drums. An exploration of the degree to which cold, digital synthesis can be transformed into the warm, human grooves and nuanced, improvised language we expect from the great art of jazz. A zany chiptune adventure down the pixelated rabbit hole. The synth-funk soundtrack to your brain.

Composed, performed and produced by Amplitude Problem, LA 

Mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Don Grossinger, NY

In early 1986, The Mentor wrote The Conscience of a Hacker, which has become known as The Hacker Manifesto. When I came across it as a teenager a couple of years later, it seemed to express all of my own thoughts around coding, hacking and the ignorant, non-believer adults around me. 

This album is dedicated to The Manifesto and The Mentor, who is featured with his blessing on the closing track. You'll also find the only vocalist in the world who is qualified to rap about all aspects of hacking -- YTCracker -- featured on a track. Inverse Phase and King Fisher of TRIAD also join us, gracing two tracks with musical and binary street cred that goes back decades.

no nut november

i'm sippin 211 cause i wanna die slow
so lost where the fuck did my mind go
authentication tell me are you friend or foe
when i die i will be become one with the packet flow

fountain of youth resolved by my mothafuckin nameservers
behind walls lies an army of my nginx workers
cryptocurrency glockchain buyin many burners
reverse TCP to connect you to my universe

sense of control within my innanet infrastructure
catch me in the middle of a very busy packet juncture
in my dreams my gun kill many dirty vultures
directory tree mkdir new subculture

fuck what you thought, i don't really care
my flow will disintegrate rappers into thin air
ya best shut ya fuckin mouth and pull up a chair
observe the methodology behind the kick and snare

you don't know shit - it's a damn shame
i spit fire like a 357 spit flame
words carried to you inside of a ethernet frame
feel my energy intrude yo head i dispose of your name

waiting for your accusations of my hubris
i infuriate the lames the way i fuckin do this
make a pussy self destruct i gave that boy some lupus
crack the boy skull like the basic auth and brutus

9sig9

can't stop smokin - havin visions of these dead opps
no sleep, red eyes, steady dodgin crooked cops
lookin for that colo, lease the dedi, what the fuckin cost
all he keep sayin is "don't shoot" - i think that boi a bot

yeah i need a zip not a ball not a fuckin gram
servers sendin dirty packets like the choppa goin ham
replace these pussy boys with zeroes like they name was SAM
simpin so hard they type their visas into onlyfans         

tell me cuzzin whats the plan
saw us and they fuckin ran
fore i hit em with the hollows
sell em life insurance plans

pray that they don't wake my demons cause they really don't wanna dance
yo tokens and my wallet - thats a crypto romance
that pussy not my mans - i won't give him no chance
while(they think they in my kernel) { they be stucc in userland }

she try to love me but i got walls like iptables
no wifi - if you want me i'mma need some cables
got them night sights - debian bullseye - i'm unstable
type the wrong command and turn a pussy boy into a fable

shoutout non shoutout ra and all the ones that follow me
shoutout sig sauer - bring death to those that plot on me
queed squad captain find yo DC - commit sodomy

follow me into the dark
i am not a whale - i'm a mothafuccin shark
iron on me tony stark - call him jenkins - he a mark
keep makin those remarks - we gon leave yo domain parked

fo these fuccbois - my patience wearin thinner
next time you decide to set trip it gon be nuclear winter
take yo dessert - take yo dinner - [un]like digiorno* we deliver
this 9 millimeter stinger will put holes up in yo figure

best know that i stay with the malware
that skid a simp - [he] probably gave his girl spyware
hypervisor hardware - call it hacker daycare
see a SMB share - now they need some healthcare

simple mail transfer protocol
full metal jacket rounds leavin holes in they wall
watchin while the spider crawl - itsy bitsy - make em fall
misconfigured firewall - fraud voip toll calls

that boy stallin - need my XMR STAT
every subnet that i see receive masscan and nmap
GCC compile from source - no systemd got no snap
if i can't make it from computers i make it from the trap

trap trap gang gang all these boys are so lame
you be thinkin that you hard - you don't even know pain
tear drops leave a stain - no i did not choose this game
everyday i grow [more] numb - no novocaine

make the wrong move - you get slain
content distribution network in the fast lane
hood pope ordained - infiltrate a gateway
make a socket layer strip so these packets translate
