Released under the moniker, Manual Controller, Salutations is the debut album by electronic musician Paul Schwarzkopf. Two years in the making, Salutations fills a unique void, combining indie-rock sensibility with unabashed DIY electronic music production. 

Recorded using strictly virtual-analog synthesizers and drum machines from the 1990’s, Salutations twists and tweaks traditional “dance-floor” machines to create progressive melodies that play out as sonic epics. Songs like “Anthemis Colors” exude fist-in-the air exuberance while others, “Organ Failure,” electronically convey the emotions of a person’s last moments as they die in a car crash.

Bucking the trend of “computer music,” Salutations is accented with flourishes of live drums, guitar, vocoderized vocals and saxophone. The album contains no external samples and relies on the genuine sound of hardware instruments, which carry a warmth and immediacy across the album’s nine tracks.
