A little C R Y S T A L L I N E progress update:

Now that some of life’s unexpected hurdles have finally cleared the way, I’ve been able to seriously accelerate development.

At this point, C R Y S T A L L I N E is approaching 50% complete.

For roughly half the album, I now have the #synthwave music, lyrics, and vocal melodies written and developed. The core of those tracks is there. From here, that half of the album still needs some arrangement refinement, final vocal tracking, mixing, and mastering.

A pretty substantial chunk of that progress has happened just within the last couple of weeks, and I’m pushing hard on the album now.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but it feels really damn good to finally see this thing taking shape.

C R Y S T A L L I N E is coming. 💎

Aliens has always been my favorite film in the entire Alien franchise. It’s basically everything I love crammed into one movie: ’80s sci-fi, atmosphere, ridiculous hardware, Colonial Marines, Xenomorphs, and that perfect mix of horror and action.

And if you’ve only ever seen the theatrical cut, do yourself a massive favor and watch the Special Edition.

I will NEVER understand why they cut the sentry gun sequence from the theatrical release 😮‍💨 like wtf?

Besides just being fucking badass, that whole sequence actually tells you something important about the Xenomorphs. They keep throwing themselves at the guns, realize something is absolutely shredding them, and eventually back off without knowing the guns are almost out of ammunition. Then later... when everyone thinks they’ve bought themselves some breathing room, the Xenos find another way in.

They’re not just monsters running blindly toward people. They're smart, clever little bastards, and adapt.

That makes the moment when everyone realizes they’re coming through the ceiling so much better, because now there’s an actual progression to it. As a kid I even remembered the sentry guns, then years later watched the theatrical version and thought, “Wait… where the hell did the guns go?” Eventually I discovered the Special Edition and there they were 😂

So naturally, I had to commit a little cinematic sacrilege and give Hudson one additional piece of Colonial Marine equipment:

Headphones.

Dropship shaking violently on the way down to LV-426, everybody preparing for combat…and Hudson is just kicked back listening to Bending Grid.

Because pulse rifles, tactical nukes and sharp sticks are great and all…

…but you also need badass music. 😎

Sometimes a love story is an omen, Shane remains one of my favorite pop songs and a standout track from Dark Star.

Rest in peace Kavinsky. The night will never sound the same.

Your music helped shape the sound and visual world that inspired an entire generation of electronic artists, myself included.

Thank you for the music Vincent. Your Nightcall will keep echoing long after you disappear into the fog.

With love,
Bending Grid

It’s my birthday so I’m shutting the studio down for the night, partying like a kaiju, and diving into Cyberpunk.

The cyberpunk universe has always been a huge inspiration for me..... from Blade Runner and Neuromancer, to Edgerunners, Cyberpunk 2077, Total Recall, and all the futuristic slum chaos in between.

Tonight is for video games for me, sci-fi worlds, and letting the birthday monnnnnster loose!
