about

The Flipping Candy debut album is about the childhood of the inventive musician LC - through the memories of paranormal books, bizarre TV shows and early video games. All tunes were recently composed and recorded by him mostly on analogue synths. These tunes are sound memories about that unfulfilled Space Age future. We all thought we would be weightless soon but we still keep our foot on the floor - still is a canvas for imagination.

Our childhood is a celluloid, a long pan of folk ways and televisuals - a tremendous time of adventures and scared nights in minor key. Here LC refers to his sound memories almost as folklore as it relates to his early toy community - time and place united by Star Wars clones. A collective phenomena allowing transcendence and other ritual properties on a late 70s changing world.
And since the 60s space was still the place, now with more fx and sounds. A lot of spaceship building from the Kingdom of Lego while TV Music was profoundly cosmic, even in a simple Sports intro. Early synthesizers, followed by FM synthesis, gave bruitage a laser power, and all animated films emerged from the shadows to gleam with the help of saw waves.
Living in the deep countryside forced kids to build toys with the abundance of tools, junk and luxurious plantlife (LC was raised in the US and the Azores islands).

On the Tops, we could hear Jean Michel-Jarre, Vangelis, Art of Noise, the vague of New Romantics, or the never-ending Synthwave invasion. Synth sounds became iconic. How to forget Michael Jackson’s Thriller synth parts with a Roland Jupiter 8? Suddenly, for Pop music electric guitars (60s Space Age symbols) now sounded like lutes. Now all sounds are wired in a synth box of unlimited potential.

Back then, Grandparents and grandchildren were somewhere between the storytelling fireplace and the Sinewaveteist TV or radio. Everyone then listened to eerie oscillators. These sounds left the radiophonic and film studios and were the feed for the new Homus Spectator.

Great album, love the dreamy nostalgic spacey-ness. The old educational samples transport me back to early school days in the TV room and when all we had to worry about was if we were wearing the right trainers or swapping Panini football stickers. vsep13
