about

31 minutes of oddly layered cakes, abstract blips, flickerings of riffs, unexpected noises from directions unseen, with weird singing cherries topping it off at the end. Playful but intensely dark if you ponder hard.

Thank you to those interested enough in seeing surreal sounds unfold for stopping by and sticking around, and huge thanks to Yann at Camembert Electrique for agreeing to release the album as well.

Made between June 13th and August 6th 2022.
The Initial sounds were a 5 minute laptop noise session, which were chopped into smaller sections and manipulated beyond recognition in Wavepad in many sessions over next 2 months.

'IncoCodeee' is two separate pieces made using Reaper, Mini v3 and various delays, plug-ins and effects, with dozens of layers of themselves added in different forms. The vocals are me, really(!), sounding 50 years older than I am!

Pictures taken in several Czech and Poland cities during 2022.

Full album visualiser using a complete playthrough of the Jet Set Willy computer game (with an added little bonus) on YouTube:

I used to play the Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner games for hours on end as a kid. This album is definitely akin to a demented computer game, so maybe this is my attempt to get noticed by some demented computer game designer who need some music! It is a fun jaunt through the 33 JSW rooms anyway, soundtracked by my nonsense.

Camembert Electrique is a label I've liked for a long while, have contributed to a few compilations on there already, and it's an honour for me to have a full release on there. Thank you!

Comments on the album from CE include:
"Amazing textures.
Arcade game track but composed by Aphex Twin.
Minimalist but complex..
The revolt of the machines.
Electrogrind / electro-death.
Voice goes between a religious lament and a torture session."

Suspenseful and Eerie. Each track tells a story. Spirits haunting a boneyard and aliens scanning the wreckage of a battlefield are just some.of the images brought to mind. Michael
