about

This album was written and recorded between June 2020 and August 2021. I used various hardware and software synthesizers, along with various computers (PC, Ipad, Amiga, C64) to create different melodies and rhythms that were then imported into my sequencing software where it was built into various songs.

Sometimes parts would be played back from my sequencer into various guitar pedals where I could then further manipulate the sounds by hand where they were re-recorded all over again. At one point, an echo pedal that I had built had a melt down, creating an amazing sound that I was lucky enough to record.

Essentially there was a lot of experimentation with recording this record but I still wanted it to sound like a song based recording, and not necessarily a noisey collection of tracks (not that there's anything wrong with that).

There's also a video for the track The Edge of Night that I was unable to include with the album but if you would like to view it, it can be found at youtu.be/-NYi2pJccl0

Lastly, this album has been released with the pay what you want option. Please consider a small donation if you enjoy my work. Your support is greatly appreciated and helps me to be able to continue making new music in the future.

Thank you!!
Matthew
