hydrogen alpha by prettyhowtown prettyhowtown : hydrogen alpha.
 Playful, melodic, hand-made ambient electronic music.

Starting with a nostalgic beats-infused drive into the sunset with westbound, prettyhowtown careens right off the cliff into a deep canyon of ambient delights. The impossible shapes of the devil's fork, drowsy mariachis' microtonal riffs in domingo se puede, and thundering swells in fiery the angels fell were all made with a small modular synthesizer built by the artist.

All tracks were performed live using only the facilities of the instrument itself and recorded directly to stereo. They are presented without editing.
