”This music captures the feel of my debut novel, taking the listener on an imaginative journey through the narrative, chapter by chapter, whether propulsive or ambient.” Jeff Noon My favorite cyberpunk-book is Vurt by Jeff Noon from 1993. I re-read it some years ago and had a clear vision what has to be done. Soundtrack. This visceral hallucinogenic rollercoaster of a book became sounds in my brains and they had to be composed and recorded. I adore also those weird sci-fi/horror/freak-movies in the 90s which had eclectic killer soundtracks combining industrial, gothic, metal, shogaze, indiepop, rap and electronica. Soundtracks from The Crow 1-2, Spawn, Judgement Night, Lost Highway and Trainspotting were the soundtracks of my juvenile years. So I wanted to capture some of that essence too, and not to have any genre restrictions when creating songs as I read the book, chapter by chapter, delving deeper into that sweet chaos. I wanted also to have some cool collaborations to make the atmosphere more diverse, like there were many artists in the album. The process took about 3 years, so it is the most personal project for me so far. I am so happy that Jeff Noon himself showed me green light to do this and ODJ Pirkka understood my vision and took this album under the wings of Eabe. Big thanks for Rami Mursula who also gave album its stunning artwork. Read the book, it is something else. Trip that never lets you forget it.
