This album "Virgo" was recorded mostly with a eurorack modular synthesizer and vintage synthesizers such as the Roland Juno 106, DSI Poly Evolver, and Roland D50, to name a few. The visuals for the album were inspired by sci-fi, gaming, and hyperreality. The idea was to create something that looked very real, but also has moments of obvious fabrication. The moving liquid metal energy in the center of this environment is intended to be abstract, but works with the basis of energy or life existing in various settings.
