Vulpiano Records is proud to present electronic artist Brevyn's first full-length album of all-new material. Complete with a fantastical story about a gardening robot's journey, the release marks a VGM-centric direction for the artist. Every track is a delight, highly-evocative of the natural world despite (or because) of the immersion in chiptune sound. You can also find descriptions for the atmosphere of the tracks in their lyrics tabs. My favorite track here is "Birds", complete with synthy tweets. Overall, an outstanding achievement in Brevyn's discography.

Words from the artist:

If you’re downloading, I suggest WAV or another lossless file.

'A gardening robot awakens among hills, rivers and mountains, not remembering an inkling of its functions and original purpose. Something draws it to follow some unusually fussy glowflies and amphibians to the rocky mass of the Chrome Citadel, where it will rediscover just what it forgot..!'

I finally got the Magical 8Bit Plug in 2018: Short Circuits is the result. I was curious about 8-bit music for many years before, being a video game person long before a musician, so this was a great way to merge my interests.

It was fun to explore chiptune hence a more melodic sound. Like most of my more uptempo projects, most songs follow a pseudo-synthpop style. I mix the 8-bit voices with effects and external sounds too, sometimes with bitcrushing. Even a piano here and there, including one ("Mountain View") that I think Celeste fans will enjoy.

Two years on, I notice some songs are too simple to loop more than once or twice in-game as I planned. Some work more as ‘beats’, so I include a handful as bonus-only and trimmed some filler. Still, I kept the songs short themselves, so they should hold up otherwise. To spice things up I created a few new songs (1, 20, 25, 26, 27) and remixed 14 and 16 from previous releases, so it isn’t a 100% archive release in the end. When it came to "Toppling Floors" I liked it but didn’t fix some iffy clicking on it before it got stuck on a freezy drive (like the other original files for the album, hence tons of other WIP material; part of why my flow with new music went out-of-whack this past year).

I want to tackle more VGM vibes in the future. To hear more of this in my music, check out my first album Turquoise Trilogy (where "West Forest Field" and "Entering The Citadel" originate):
