Kit Mix #142: Yaffle
Here’s a truly lovely mix of floaty instrumentals and playful soundtracks from the Moscow-based composer and NTS chatroom legend Yaffle. With a healthy Japanese contingent and generally charming, sandbox-meander kinda vibe, it’s no wonder this mix was made by a games designer. Yaffle creates games that deal with prosaic issues, such as bruised banana woes, or the pitfalls of going in for the wrong handshake; check them out at LOWPOLIS.
His regular HDMR broadcasts, complete with swirly 3d graphics, are a must too. Stay tuned for more music from Yaffle this year.
