‘Director’ is the follow up to Chrome Canyon’s 2012 debut ‘Elemental Themes’.
Chrome Canyon is a composer for film and TV, including the HBO Max / Cartoon Network series ‘Infinity Train’.
‘Director’’s lead track, ‘Broken Theme’, was used in an iPhone 13 Pro advert.
Vintage synths were used to create ‘Director’, including the PE-1000, which was Korg’s first polyphonic instrument, and the Chroma Polaris, which was the second synth made by Fender/Rhodes.
Chrome Canyon’s music is greatly influenced by scores that are as revered as the films they soundtrack: ‘Tron’, ‘Blade Runner’, ‘Metropolis’, etc. His new album, ‘Director’, arrives ten years after his Stones Throw debut ‘Elemental Themes’, and is his vision of a soundtrack to an unmade film.
The ten pieces across ‘Director’ are intended spark vivid, cinematic imagination. The album was recorded between downtown LA and the Californian desert and is inspired by the drama of the natural landscape.
For fans of Ben Frost, Mica Levi, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Trent Reznor.
