“ …instrumentation on the album was either played and recorded by myself, or was programmed from scratch using individual ‘oneshots,’ which are basically just recordings of single notes being played. Many of the melodies or bass lines were constructed in this way – by pitch shifting and moving around individual sounds like sound legos.” (Emancipator)
I can’t believe this album was made by a 19-year-old college student. It’s so perfect. Perfect beats, beautiful melodic samples, violins, keys and some occasional female voices, emancipator’s piano skills. Highly recommended !

Super good music!!
