Five Pence Game is the collaborative side project of Ally Morton (Massa Confusa, Not Myself, Youkol, Gozer and the Gatekeeper) in which each song is treated individually, is not defined by genre, and is based on 1-3 improvised recording sessions with a collaborator.
‘Infinity (For Chris Corner) feat. Pixalino’ is the first Five Pence Game single since 2017 to feature Ally on vocals. Basque musician Pixalino provides the bass. The lyrics are based around Chris Corner (IAMX)’s ‘insomnia schizophonica’ blog, which Chris wrote when going through difficulties with mental health.

Five Pence Game - Infinity (For Chris Corner) feat. Pixalino

UK:
‘Experiments’ deviates from Five Pence Game’s usual collaborative format, with a set of songs that stemmed from samples taken from iconic films such as The Dark Crystal and The Wicker Man, instruments such as the belafon and the sitar, and yoga mantras. It is primarily instrumental with manipulated voice samples, in which the words sound like an invented otherworldly  language.

Thematically, the tracks are loosely based on the seven main stages of spiritual alchemy, which is concerned with the desire for inner transformation and discovering oneself through seeking the truth of the soul, cosmos and nature.  

ES:
‘Experiments’ se desvía del formato colaborativo habitual de Five Pence Game, con un conjunto de canciones que provienen de muestras tomadas de películas icónicas como Cristal Oscuro y El Hombre De Mimbre, instrumentos como el belafon y el sitar, y mantras de yoga. Es fundamentalmente instrumental con samples de voz manipulados, en las que las palabras suenan como un lenguaje inventado de otro mundo.

Temáticamente, las pistas se basan libremente en las siete etapas principales de la alquimia espiritual, que se ocupa del deseo de transformación interior y de descubrirse a uno mismo a través de la búsqueda de la verdad del alma, el cosmos y la naturaleza.
