Presenting 2009 by Josh Hanson & Sean Ongley. This album was produced in the year of its title and never was properly released. It is an experimental collaboration between two electronic music artists with very different approaches.

Josh created nine soundscapes using his modular analog synthesis equipment recorded directly to cassette tapes via the classic Tascam 4-track Portastudio. He presented a series of nine moody soundscapes in total, structured but wide open for development.

Sean transferred those tracks into Pro Tools 5.1, remixed, and contributed additional performances using the ARP Odyssey Mk2 and Roland VK1 analog synthesizers. Using digital editing techniques with both jazz and pop concepts in mind, he arranged the tracks provided by Hanson into a structure while adding color.

2009 is available on all streaming services (like Spotify), and for direct download on Bandcamp, and iTunes.
