If you've visited Japan and used their wonderful train system, one thing that no doubt caught your attention was the jingles or 'departure melodies'. 発車メロディ or 駅メロ are written to evoke a sense of pleasant calm within the environment of a bustling platform, but also hurry passengers along at the same time.

The jingles are different across stations and lines, meaning each tune becomes associated with a certain place. This release features numerous chip and electronic artists, each developing a track around their chosen jingle; it's an homage to the experience of riding trains in Japan, hopefully connecting with those melodies lodged in your memory via your daily commute or a holiday trip.

Download the release to access a chart showing the jingles used by each artist.

Still banging out them electro-acoustic gems, club-oriented drones & percussion, and diving into the modular synthesis world.

My music attempts to reflect synaesthetic texture and manipulation of machines by other machines and the use and abuse of field recordings.
