After writing these songs two and a half years ago, the debut EP from my side project with Simon “The Analog Kid” Andrews (a fellow chip artist who is massively underrated and unknown, and also the guitarist in my band Dark Warriors) has finally been released. ANALOG WIZARDS started off as an experiment for us to write songs inspired by various video games and ended up becoming an outlet for us to write progressive metal(ish) chiptunes with Modplug. I’m not sure that we’ll ever write or release any more material, but I’m proud of this EP and happy to finally have these songs collected in one place.

Metronomnomnom- Psilodump
Hooray, the new year is tolerably new! Pianist and weatherman John Pohlman retires to play spiffy piano jazz and unremittingly listen to Psilodump during his long-awaited vacation, tuned in with his venerable portable travel radio. After 30 years, Pacman finally finds a qualified metronome to aid him in his training towards eating pac-dot-nom’s in unmitigated on-target sync with even the most adequate techno rave beats around. His iron determination is undisputed! As for Psilodump, the new year only heralds supplementary adventures beyond challenge!

Chips, Dips and Facerips – Sievert
With the galaxy safe once more, our hero Space Captain Sievert returns home. After landing his ship on the small island known as Earth, he shows the people the things he has discovered and peace is restored again. Even if only for a brief time, our hero is happy to take a well needed rest from defending the galaxy. In his third album, Sievert gets back to his punk-ska roots to celebrate all of the things he loves: good times, good friends, beer, dogs, cartoons, pizza, chips, dips, and face-rips.

Circadian Rhythm by Seed A.I.
Album review by Thom Uliasz:
“I’ve given Circadian Rhythm a few solid listens now, and I’ve just got to say it’s turned out great. The title as a conceptual starting point, is dead on. Like the arpeggio that the album starts out with, climbing and falling and repeating – you’ve illustrated the cyclic nature of organic life by condensing a day into 9 tracks. Where modern electronic music relies so much on convention and short attention spans, you’ve got a volume here that is best listened to in it’s entirety, brimming with unusual notions and orchestrations. Overall, the album’s lush organics and digital sparseness really paint an inspiring picture of a day I’ll revisit again and again.”
