NEW DOUBLE RELEASE: environmental sound collapse - "fumes of decay" and "e.s.c. is dead"
Get them here http://datathrash.bandcamp.com/album/e-s-c-is-dead and here http://datathrash.bandcamp.com/album/fumes-of-decay !!
Back in 2008 when I first discovered chipmusic, one of the first artists I was drawn to was environmental sound collapse. Anyone that's been involved in the modern chip scene knows the initials e.s.c. well, either as sage voice on the forums, a master visualist, or the ever-changing and impossible to pin down musician. He's been at it since 2001 and has released dozens of albums in all manner of genre and with a stupefying variety of equipment. He's also a great guy and a staff member at Datathrash Recordings.
What you see/hear before you is the final e.s.c. release. The end of an era. The beginning of a new one. The culmination of well over a decade of artistic output. Enjoy and be humbled.

PS: We also bring you a 24 track retrospective of e.s.c.'s catalog hand picked and produced by the man himself. Not to be missed: datathrash.bandcamp.com/album/e-s-c-is-dead
