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.”
