With LinnDrum, Korg DW8000, guitar, and his love for 1980s synth rock at hand, Garth Knight brings his debut 5 track EP to light. Whether calling on the the music ingrained into his mind as a child of the 1980s, or drawing inspiration from artists such as Giorgio Moroder, Steve Stevens, Roger Zito, and Vince DiCola, Garth Knight hopes to share his instrumental labor of love born from a decade long gone.

Intro sets the scene for the EP, subtly laying way for Overdrive; a driving tour de force featuring 80s guitar and punchy LinnDrum sounds. Babylon features the DX7 synthesizer and pays tribute to early disco and dance music, while Alpha reaches for a more groove based approach, using Fairlight CMI sounds. The EP’s finale, Juggernaut, urges the listener to bang their head as the chorused rock guitars gently float over pulsing synths.

This release is available as a 'pay what you want' download. Artist support is highly encouraged.

It's not peoples fault for not knowing how something is made, or fully understanding music at all.. I think that type of person is more sensitive to the effect music has on the mind, but at the same time completely ignorant.....also fuck journalists and being interviewed imo. It's usually just someones job, and not a passion. The most accurate review I've ever gotten was on someones tumbler; NOT the local newspaper.

you seem mad.

To the mass media/populace, chipmusic is a novelty. For them it's the mathematical:

song I know from radio play + nostalgic bleeps and bloops = lol funny

A one listen through for jokes, a share on facebook and then a quick decay inside their minds. We shouldn't be marketing to those people at all. The fans we already have do listen to us and they do it for all the right reasons.
