The full Wigglin’ tracklist can be seen below:
Tesselode reflects:
“Much of my musical influence growing up was from mid-2000s PC and Game Boy Advance games. These used different forms of sample-based MIDI music.
My earliest compositions were written in notation software that exported to general MIDI, which I then used in my games built on the Game Maker 6 engine.
MIDI-based music pushes you to compose distinct melodies with a limited soundset, and 20 years later, I’ve channeled that melodic writing in this album.”
jneen added:
“A lot of my sound comes from classic early 2000s PC game soundtracks. From a time when Sierra was king – especially Tim Clarke’s extended soundtrack for The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions.
The way the team embraced the technical limitations of the time while being unmoored from the traditional bounds of genre just absolutely spoke to me as a kid, and I think you’ll hear that influence across not just this album but my whole musical career.”
