about

FROM THE AUTHOR, SUMMER 2021:

H IS FOR HOLOGRAM has always held a special place in my memory - I remember vividly the tangential and sporadic sessions, in 2010 and 2011, initially spurred on by supplementary soundtrack work for an updated port of Eufloria on the Playstation Network, but quickly mutating into their own respective shapes. Longtime listeners already know very well my lifelong obsession with both science-fiction and science-fact, and it should be no surprise at all that the life of an electronic musician actually meets those two poles somewhere in the middle. HOLOGRAM is packed to the brim with references, both deep and topical, to all kinds of books, films, television shows and video games - there are too many to name here, but the wiki that is currently underway would be a good place to expand on those things. The music, at the time, was very much picking up where something like TIDEWATER PETROL had left off, although those recordings would sit unreleased until a full year after HOLOGRAM had already been issued (due to a number of conflicts and delays) despite being laid to tape in 2009. This is to say, HOLOGRAM is resplendent with bedroom electronic hallmarks - funky drum machine work, huge FM synth basses, futuristic pad chords and spaced-out lead melodies - accumulating into a very Milieu-sounding album, but using all sorts of glossy and plastic digital synthesis to accomplish it. After revisiting this material a decade later, and considerately remastering it from the original session tracks, I feel that HOLOGRAM is as fresh as ever, full of low-gravity bounce and surrealistic life, and these remasters could not have landed at a more opportune moment - the world still consumed by needless suffering, viruses decimating the population, rich assholes shooting themselves into space - HOLOGRAM has beamed down in the midst of a sunny Summer, ready to take you away for a starry-eyed vacation, without ever leaving your home...and boy oh boy, have we got a vacation for you.

ORIGINAL COPY, 2011:

Dialing in from several light-years away comes a new Milieu album that is just as suited for Summertime as it is for space travel. H Is For Hologram is the summation of several dozens of influences, mixing together like paint and chemicals to create funky fumes that will get you higher than the moon. Combining a braindance infused hybrid of melodic analog synths, organic drumlines and high-grav bass frequencies to build a living breathing robot that will navigate your cruiser to Magrathea, park it in the corner of a Heighliner and serve you blue liquor in a swanky intergalactic lounge on the more colorful side of the Neutral Zone. Packed with loads of hidden samples, dialogue and sound effects from several of my favorite sci-fi movies and TV shows, this album is limited to 50 copies packaged in teleporter-paper and custom stamped cardstock inserts. Don't smegging leave Earth without it!
