Moon Gangs Earth Loop

'Earth Loop', the debut album by BEAK> keyboardist William Young's Moon Gangs project, is set for release on 30th March 2018 via Village Green Recordings. 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. Young's introduction to synth music came from listening to film scores when he was a teenager, such as Terminator, Videodrome, Zombie Flesh Eaters and Phantasm. Scores from kosmische pioneers Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh also played a large part in these formative musical years. Not going out much as a child, Young spent a lot of time indoors playing video games. Instead of a SNES, his mum bought him a Commodore 64 as she thought the keyboard made it seem more educational. Certain games, and their soundtracks, also struck a chord, such as The Last Ninja, Dante's Inferno, Stormlord and Castle Ma
