Defying genre definitions with his ever-evolving process, Austin-based electronic composer JU4N fuses elements of new age, neoclassical and modern jazz on the new single “Loops for MIDI Pt.1.” Utilizing the expressive sound design capabilities of FM synthesis as his canvas, JU4N playfully dives into avant-minimalism via MIDI-controlled sequencing on both vintage hardware and modern software. Fractured melodies meticulously coalesce into a driving, multi-layered piece that cycles through a beautiful cast of nostalgic tones and morphing polyrhythms. Beyond the veneer of shimmering crystal bells and glassy digital piano, JU4N’s imaginative exploration and understated complexity reach new heights of refinement on “Loops for MIDI Pt.1.”
