Facsimile Urbane

A 3 track electronic album (52m 19s) — released April 7th 2023 on Art Edit

Ultra-Modern Art is a pseudonym of Scott E. Hodgson, electronic composer and co-founder of Beau Monde records. This was used as vehicle to move away from the darker and more moody techno releases under the Scott Edward name, and into the area of more optimistic, electronic sounding experiences; the kind that he first explored on Scott Edward's own ambient LP "Distant Horizons". This avenue was also inspired by retro computing, video games and particularly the film Tron. And so, these ingredients all came together, to provide yet another stylistic side-line.

This new album pulls together a range of material mostly unheard before audio sci-fi and recorded after the demise of his Beau Monde label. This collection of tracks have been pulled together into a sound movie format, following a manga style adventure featuring the illegal cyborg re-manufacture and the Ai-generated, new-romantic disco of the clubs, of a fictitious future Japanese underworld, steeped in the love for virtual video game nostalgia.
