"For those who know me no explanation is necessary, for those who don't, no explanation is possible............"

Chip & Pin is all about the electronic music synthesiser; it is also an acknowledgement of all those great artists that have created music in many styles using these devices since their inception. Every sound on every track of this album has been created using one of a variety of electronic music synthesisers devices along with multiple effects; this includes all the drum sounds used. There are a great many sonic references to tracks and artists that have gone before and have been a huge influence on this album. Its creation is a testament to their creativity and originality. Those synthesiser aficionados among you will no doubt recognise many sounds used here and know their sonic origins and for the rest of you it will be a voyage of discovery through the expansive world of pure electronic music.

The electronic music synthesiser has always held a wonderful fascination for me with its virtually unlimited sound creation possibilities from the early Moog and EMS synths through to the modern day software emulations of which there is no better example than the collection provided within ‘Propellerheads’ - Reason software that I have been working with since it first appeared in 2000. A powerful system in the hands of an experienced synthesiser user and programmer it contains 3 very different and unique synths, the ‘Subtractor’ is closest to the early Moog devices etc. that all used subtractive synthesis as their main sound creating basis, then there is the ‘Malestrom’ a graintable synth similar in concept to the PPG and then the ‘Thor’ that is a monster of a synth that covers virtually all the various synthesiser sound creating possibilities that have been used over the years by different manufacturers all within one instrument. Add to these the huge variety of effects devices within Reason and the possibilities of using multiple instances of all these synths and effects and you can see how it was possible to produce every sound on this entire album. 


modulator.demodulator (or simply "modem") is the product of lifelong friends Tony Salinas and Justin V. Tyree. Their modern sound calls on influences from 80s and 90s Electronic and New Wave; it's familiar, unique, upbeat, and energetic.
