'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 Master.Moon Gangs officially began in 2011, with the release of 'Sea/Sky' on cassette tape via the incipient Where To Now label. Friends from his time spent in Brighton, it was both Young's and the label's first release and set the tone for his later output with ambient, analogue synth loops and foreboding, cinematic drones. Subsequent releases followed, such as 2014's self-titled EP, mixed by Hookworms' MJ, and an appearance on the Blanck Mass-curated film score 'The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears', released via Death Waltz.1 The Start2 Second Run3 The Terminal4 Lambda5 Familiar Machines6 Sea Circles7 Tempel 18 The End
