intersections
Everyone travels through life, crossing through countless intersections.
You’ve arrived here thanks to the many paths you’ve chosen along the way.
“intersections” is about embarking upon a new journey, turning over the page into a new chapter. Whether you’ve moved to a new town, started a new career, made a new friend, invested in a new hobby, or are building upon something that already exists.
“intersections” is about celebrating the things that make us who we are, the tools we’ve built along the way that will help us tackle the next thing in our own way, no matter how refined or not.
Most of the songs in the album follow a pop song inspired structure from a certain era, with a mix of instrumentation from acoustic instrumentations, modern synthesis, ROMpler and sample based arrangements, to sounds produced by early game consoles I grew up with, namely the early Nintendo consoles such as the NES, SNES, and N64. There are a mix of sequenced, live performed, and tracked elements throughout the album.
Maddie Lim
When Maddie approached me about working on the cover of her upcoming Infloresce album, I was so excited.
I love Maddie’s music and I’ve commissioned some songs from her for my games (pedal pushers, my Sailor V fan game). I love the mix of traditional instruments and digital sounds in her work, and they mirror my love for experimenting with mixing art and tech.
When she sent me her music sketches to listen to while I was working on the album cover, a whole storyline popped into my head, and I asked how she’d feel about the CD album booklet being a comic. Fortunately, she was on board and we started brainstorming and trading ideas as I sketched, storyboarded, outlined, and colored the comic.
I related to a lot of the themes that Maddie was hoping to express through the album, so our collaboration felt natural. There are multiple possible interpretations of the cover art and the comic, but I see myself reflected in the cover art as an introverted and weird kid growing up on the internet, and slowly opening up, meeting people and making friends irl, and becoming more comfortable in the world.
