about

This album was about two years in the making. I sat down in the middle of the pandemic with an idea to build a concept album with industrial sounds and to celebrate one of my favorite games of all time, Netrunner.

Based in a post-moderm world where Corporations and Hackers fight for Agendas, I found great friendships and played some nail biting games. The community that came out of Netrunner was defining for me and has led to some of the most meaningful friendships in my life.

So an ode to Netrunner, my only hope is that someone that still plays finds this album and puts it on in the background while they make a few runs or rez some Ice.

I hope the sounds I have created bring images of Cyberpunk fantasy, corporate overlords, and enigmatic netrunners. And maybe you will tap your toe once or twice.

@met3mpsyk6sis for the guitar licks in Orange Level Clearance. Vocal samples in Breaking News and Buffer Overflow.
Divasop - vocal samples on Dedicated Response Team
Connor - vocal samples on The Makers Eye

I wrote all the dialog and samples all the voices. I produced, mastered, mixed, arranged, and stomped my way to the completion of this album.
