Build the following anime series in your head. The world as we know it has ceased to exist. The resultant dystopia is inhabited by zombies. But these aren’t the sort of blood-thirsty characters that populate movies such as Resident Evil. Instead, they like to party. They like to shake a leg in the middle of the night, gathering at each other’s houses for after-hours shindigs where a DJ plays techno music.
That’s the sort of soundscape that prolific musician Randolph Correia has created with his latest avatar, Blitch. He released four albums back-to-back under the moniker over the past two months — Waves, Fukt, Demon Inside and Pharm House. But he tells us that he envisioned these records more as seasons in the afore-mentioned anime series than individual musical offerings, with each song serving as an episode within the album/season. That line of thinking isn’t surprising, considering Correia’s education as a fine-arts student. He explains, “You can say that both my creative sides crossed over with Blitch, because it gave me the idea to tell a story as an anime series, rather than thinking of hooks, drops and choruses, which can get pretty boring.”
