Chrome Canyon by Cassie Hunter

Chrome Canyon is the project of Morgan Z, electronic composer. Morgan's folks had him on piano by 6. At 16, he moved into that same living room and gave his bedroom over to housing his collected gear. He began writing avant-garde compositions while studying jazz at NYC’s New School. For three years, Morgan played in the glammy electro outfit Apes & Androids, but when that ended, he retreated to his private Brooklyn studio where he began to amass analog synthesizers. Stones Throw released Chrome Canyon’s debut album Elemental Themes (2013), the last work mastered by Nilesh Patel, the engineer behind classic albums by the likes of Air, Bjork, and Daft Punk.
