We first discovered Alphabets when he came out of nowhere to own Peppermill’s 2999 competition… where the challenge was to soundtrack David Schleinkofer’s brilliant sci-fi painting and create a narrative for it. Thus, Arka was born.
Jay’s Odyssey though explores some new terrain, a story in the style of old PS1 and Megadrive platform games… Jay starts off in a garden, and by meeting some fractured and fragmented characters journeys to alphabet’s heaven.
It’s a look at the computer games Alphabets spent years playing; the jagged structure of them, and the kind of mindspace you find yourself in after directing a blue pixellated hedgehog for 5 hours.
