Miniature Airlines

Miniature Airlines

There are plenty of bedroom producers out there using the latest and greatest plugins and soft synths to create their music, but what sets Dylan Abbott (aka Miniature Airlines) apart from the rest is his attention to songcraft. Instead of following dancefloor-oriented templates to build his tracks, he draws on his background as a songwriter to make structured pop songs full of melodic development, while borrowing techniques from the worlds of IDM, glitch, and synthpop. Using the obtuse and crash-prone tracker program known as Buzz, he has released a string of EPs in the last few years, followed by his first full-length album, Arrivals & Departures, in 2010. If you catch one of his live performances, expect longer, deconstructed version of his songs, along with new, unreleased material with the same melodic sensibilities.
