Edirol Hyper Canvas

I wanted to write a piece for the EDIROL PC-80, the clunky MIDI keyboard with speakers that occupied the better part of my childhood.  But it's locked away in storage at my parents' house, or maybe we donated it to charity, and the bundled software doesn't even run on anything newer than Windows XP.  I'm pretty sure that Hyper Canvas uses the same soundset, but if you're able to play back the MIDI file on a PC-80 and pour out a drink at the same time, do that and be sure to let me know about it--it would make my day!

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!

WATER (iv)

"You arrive in the early afternoon, drawn to the dockside markets where fish peddlers sell their morning draw. Here, on the outskirts of the Empire, you catch an intermittent glance of a militant-priest doing their best to maintain order amongst the crowd.  It's a small town; aside from the occasional thief, you get the impression that the people here are doing their best to get by peacefully.

As you breathe in the seaside air, a young figure in an embossed reed hat approaches you and introduces herself as a local thaumaturge.  From the way she appraises the usefulness of the relics within your knapsack, you get the impression that although her talents for the divine exceed your own, she probably thinks a bit too highly of herself.  At least your brief coastal stay won't be without engaging conversation.

Eventually, she bids you farewell.  As you watch the sea rise and fall, the sounds of the crowd begin to dim, and you meander over towards your designated lodging for the evening."

⚙️ ...kind of like switching gears, with the hitch and all. 
⚙️ ...it's like a more shallow experience than blacking out - a more hollow-feeling one, and then waking up again. But all in an instant. It feels a little like... what I am at core? That flows a different way through me with each one locking in. 
⚙️ ...that was the first thing I asked to try, but they can't put them back together. But, um, I'm okay with that now, I think. Picking and choosing. There's a kind of control in it. 
⚙️ ...no, I don't let just anyone see... 
⚙️ ...okay, but try and be gentle. I think the mechanism budges and ends up swapping with even light pushes. 
⚙️ ...erk! 
⚙️ ...c'mon. 
⚙️ ...what do you want to know about? I've helped save a place or two so far, I can at least claim that. 
⚙️ ...alright, but at least lay off me for a bit, so I can find the right ones to tell this. 
⚙️ ...some might be a little worse for wear, but this one at least hopes you can live with that. 
⚙️ Here goes...

CORPSE EXQUISITE II

This track is from the second incarnation of Nintendium-118, a collaborative chiptune compo hosted by the PSG Cabal themed around the elements. Each entrant was randomly assigned an element from the periodic table, and had to create a chiptune track based around it. This year's release features a healthy mixture of newcomers and alumni from Volume 1, leading to a compo that is familiar, yet also refreshingly novel.
