This soundtrack was the last one I composed in what it's known today as "chiptune" style, using the 4 Game Boy channels (3 tone + noise) + 2 digital channels.

It was also the last soundtrack where I used my trusty Compact Editor, which had served me well for over 10 years: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0018925

The sound driver was written entirely from scratch in C, using a gnu compiler. It could run on the GBA but also on a PC using a cycle exact emulation of the GBA sound chip I also wrote to avoid using a hardware development system.

The cartridge actually contained 2 different games, making a total of 31 tunes for the entire soundtrack. Many of the tunes were re-arranged from of my Obelix soundtrack for the SNES.

This music was directly recorded from the PC emulation back in the year 2002.

Written with a ROLI Seaboard, soundchips from some very old machines, a piano, a field recorder, and some excellent instrumental recordings from friends.

Elemental Fusion is an album of collaborations with instrumentalists. In most cases, I asked friends to record a few minutes of improv or pseudo-improv to use as a springboard for writing a piece of music. The tracks would then be built around whatever they sent me, often chopped up and manipulated. The result is serendipitous; these works were pushed in unique, unexpected directions by my collaborators' performances. The compositional challenge was thrilling.

This album also interprets the word "fusion" in other senses - it is a spiritual successor to the similarly-named pair of diametrically opposed EPs I released in 2022, Elemental Harmony & Elemental Chaos, combining their respective styles of "melodic chiptune" and "ambient glitch" into one work that lives on a spectrum between them. It is a blend of acoustic warmth and digital processing. It is also a synthesis of many different styles, sounds and techniques that I've come to enjoy employing in my writing.

Elemental Fusion is perhaps my most challenging and varied work to date, and I think about it as a recital of sorts for the classical concert stage, a statement of purpose. To that end, detailed program notes are included with the album!
