PUBLIC SECURITY SECTION 9 (Patreon)

Recently rewatched Ghost In The Shell (and Johnny Mnemonic) and have been thinking a lot about mid 90s futurism. I've talked about 50s postwar optimism and 80s "abundance mindset" utopianism here but haven't really dug into what weird cultural/historical forces were at work during the time I was teenager. Watching GITS again I was struck by how, even though the story and setting are solidly dystopian, there's so much playfulness at work in the narrative, art direction and music. I decided to set up a classic mid 90s futurist hardware rig (one mono synth, one drum machine, guitar pedals, mixer) and see if I could write a post-acid track for New Port City. I ended up with 4 and this is my favorite one. I'd like to eventually add some chopped up vocals to this so...if that's something anyone wants to hear, let me know. In the mean time, I'll be continuing down the mid-90s rabbit hole....

Hope everyone is well and as good as they can be
