Debut EP, Apparel, available for free download at my website, www.miniatureairlines.com. 6 tracks loosely themed around articles of clothing, in mp3 and flac formats.
The second EP from Miniature Airlines is also now officially available: Pushpin Revolution, 6 tracks of electronic music, encompassing influences from new wave, synthpop, glitch, IDM, and club music in a tight, 22 minute package, is free to download at www.miniatureairlines.com.
Miniature Airlines returns, and this time he’s brought friends. First Snows & Last Leaves finds him exploring the seasonal moodiness of the Northwest, with two tracks of lush electronic pop. Also along for the ride are fellow Northwesterners the Celibacy Club, with a deeper, darker version; The Quarry Stone gives us a harmonically twisted yet uplifting IDM revision; D.iscontent comrade Hjalti smashes the track to splinters, then using those splinters as a framework for something entirely different; and finally Utofbu, with a hard swing reworking of the B-side.
