Semiotic by Symbion Project

Available as digital album and limited-edition vinyl.

SEMIOTIC (2016) is the 6th Symbion Project album and is an audio/visual collaboration with Kevin McGinnis. Featuring a seamless meld of dark, twisted beats and synths with minimal, yet chaotic motion graphics and images, the result is a hypnotic discussion between visuals and instrumental music. Kevin and Kasson first collaborated creatively on videogames while working at Harmonix (RockBand, Dance Central) and reconnected in their hometown of Seattle, WA where they wanted to create a music/graphic art project that is as much visual as audible.

Standout songs are the dark videogame inspired “Root” featuring heavy disjointed beats and edgy 8bit synths, while “Impulse” transforms a resonating halftime groove into a driving techno beat. “Concept” changes pace with a stuttery sample-driven song that is playable in the music videogame reboot Amplitude HD (ps3/ps4). "The Idea" is also featured as a playable track in the music game Chime# (Steam, PS4, Nintendo Switch).
