受到濃濃的科幻、恐怖電影《魔鬼終結者系列》、《錄影帶謀殺案》、《鬼追人系列》的配樂、古典音樂以及電子先驅團Tangerine Dream、音樂家Vangelis等的影響,《Earth Loop》終於出世啦! William Young(Moon Gangs)的首張專輯常使用模擬環境般的合成器創作,加上合成如電影配樂般嗡嗡作響的特色,召喚出一種具衝勁且思鄉之情的奇妙預言。古典音樂訓練出身的他,即使一切的創作不是弦樂本身,而是合成器的運用,還是聽得出他用心注入的古典元素和氛圍。
Inspired by classical music and the film scores of sci-fi and horror classics such as Terminator, Videodrome and Phantasm, and those of electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, comes “Earth Loop” - the debut album from William Young aka Moon Gangs. The album casts ambient analogue synth loops alongside cinematic drones, resulting in an evocative, nostalgic soundworld thats as invigorating as it is foreboding. A classically-trained pianist, Young composed “Earth Loop” “half and half in a classical sense”, some played live on keyboards, with ideas notated traditionally, the other half created using analogue sequencers with random voltage sources:
“Earth Loop mainly came out of jamming with synths. Everything started as big long rambles recorded live that are then trimmed down into something more concise. Inspiration-wise Id been listening to more classical stuff, a lot of chamber music for strings, and I think that shows in the string sectiony bits. Although theyre all synths, not actual strings."
