Artist: Square Wail
Album: I'm not listening.
Celebrating the timeless sound of Nintendo GAME BOY ™
Square, Saw, Sine and Noise. It's all it takes to make great electronic music, but when you reduce it to 8-bit word then it all becomes a challenge. Square Wail pushes the boy to the limits of possibilities and explores the rhythm and melody in a fresh, yet such a familiar way. “I'm not listening” – composed and written by Matthew Kenall, mixed by Kory Krukkenberg and mastered at Bonati Mastering NYC.
Album Tracks:

Finally something fresh arrives to Analogik. Perhaps because of nostalgia, perhaps due to it's up-beat mood, this whole album is a cheerful and uplifting experience with quite a few great moments. (For example, twelve seconds before the ending of “See you later” track – all sounds stop except for one beautifully simple solo that stops as abruptly as it starts, ending the track). Don't be fooled thinking this is yet another GAME BOY™ inspired artist, recording, tweaking and mixing the samples into the newly created music.
Boys and girls – this is real stuff. Square Wail writes and performs music on the actual gaming device, and if you don't believe it – get the album and have a listen. If that's not good enough go and see Square Wail live in action. |
