Ed Harrison

Neotokyo

Organic, emotive electronica, drawing from acoustic and orchestral elements, live and electronic beats, and a rich sense of mood and atmosphere.

Neotokyo is the debut CD release of Australian composer Ed Harrison. This instrumental release draws from a wide array of influences, from post-rock to classic minimalism to IDM and atmospheric electronica. There is a focus on mood and atmosphere, with the intention of drawing the listener into a unique and cohesive world. 'Neotokyo' is a source mod (computer game) developed by a small group of dedicated artists over a period of around five years. This two-CD set, containing around two and a half hours of music, is a musical interpretation of the game world and setting, and has been designed not only to provide a musical context for the game, but also a rich and cathartic listening experience as an album. It is not just a soundtrack, but a true double album, and contains around an hour of music not bundled with the game. Note: This double CD is a limited run, it won't be available forever! If CDBaby list as out-of-stock, however, it should become available again shortly. When the CDs actually run out, this listing will be modified to reflect that.
