Mastered for dynamic range, not mere loudness. Turn your speakers up, feel the punch of the bass and hear the nuances in the music as it's allowed to breathe. End the loudness war. http://dynamicrangeday.co.uk/about/

Get in The Zone with this audio nootropic... For my fellow coders, here's the boot sequence for your foggy morning brain. Over the course of nine minutes, this song will gently guide you from "what the fuck am I looking at" to "recursion is so beautiful".

Put your headphones on and Coder's Boot Sequence will start POST in the center of your brain, slowly expanding outward to initialize all your devices in three dimensions. Pulsing at just the right pace while cycling through a chord progression that always-yet-never resolves, its mathematical pattern is guaranteed to put your frontal lobe in full-on puzzle solving mode.

A bright, infinitely looping arpeggio will PEEK every coordinate of your mind's RAM as it pans, pulses and traverses a stunning array of note data. Just under six minutes in, when the program counter reaches playMelody(); you'll be teed up for the gorgeous flood of dopamine with which the song will flood your mesolimbic pathway. All this while the soaring melodic line provides just the faintest whisper of drama to ensure your amygdala is activated on all fronts.

You cannot rush the boot sequence. Start from the beginning and let it execute. After nine minutes, your stereocilia will have been exposed to tsunamis of the entire audible frequency spectrum, and the song will drop you firmly in The Zone, craving your favorite, action-packed coding music. What comes next in your playlist is up to you. Coder's Boot Sequence is backward-, forward- and sideways-compatible with all types of programming music whether you'd like to proceed it with electronic, classical, jazz, metal or medieval bagpipes. I obviously recommend http://amplitudeproblem.bandcamp.com/album/synchron-assembly

I've iterated over this track based on the results from several groggy code mornings and now have it fine-tuned to a point where I can achieve The Zone in about six minutes. After the song ends, I'm ready for a full-on assault of instrumental coding music even if I didn't want to hear a goddamn sound or see a goddamn light nine minutes earlier. This is a long composition but it'll feel like four minutes if you're doing it right.

When you write software, you're controlling the interactions and outcomes of a series of events on a timeline. This is exactly the same work you're doing when composing and mixing music. It's exciting to have used the output of one of these related processes to optimize the initialization of progress on the other -- inside my brain. Let me know your results.

Coder's Boot Sequence is organic, free-range and 102% phat. It is recommended as part of a complete breakfast. Not a substitute for coffee.

"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.
