subPixel to release The Wave on Feb. 12, teaser available

We here at Ubiktune are glad to announce that a new subPixel (aka Matt Ross) album The Wave is going to be released on February 12. Guest musicians include Allan Ross on sax, Amanda Altobelli on arpeggiator, and Rick Birmingham on violin. Mastered by Luke Sullivan. The album was recorded in honor of Matt's uncle, David "The Wave" Calhoun, who passed in 2010.

The Wave is formed as a double EP: a six song suite presented in two versions, one recorded with live instrumentation and one arranged in VRC6 format for the Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom. So, both halves can be played simultaneously in sync. Based on this, an iOS app will be released later, giving the user the ability to mix each song — channel by channel and on the fly — creating an interactive experience. Imagine turning a dial to transform a live guitar solo into an 8-bit shred-fest, just like on your old NES! The teaser is available below:

The album will be available to download from Bandcamp for $3 (includes all 12 tracks, NSF, and Famitracker source files) or high quality chrome cassette tape for $5 which includes expanded artwork by Samantha Cohen and the digital album with all of the above.
