In it, you'll hear a smorgasboard of sound: from neo-soul, to bubbling funk, jittering R&B, and the light piano plinks of deep house cuts.

It is there in the droopy, weak, drippy synth that plinks and plonks its toytown melody over and over again, sounding brokenly childish in the way that all of us can when romantic fantasy meets adult reality.

In the video above, Brown explains how underneath Breath of the Wild's visceral piano plinks and violin plucks is a very nuanced orchestration that echoes Zelda games of the past without completely lifting classic theme songs or tunes.

That's a lot to unpack, but what you need to know is that when you switch on the DFAM and start twisting the knobs, it makes really cool synthetic drum and percussion sounds—deep throbs, hypersonic plinks, and everything in between.
|

You almost get the sense, listening to all the change machine plinks, xylophonic stutters, and fractal-like hand-drum programming, that he was only ever toying with that style because the kick drums sounded like the sort of rhythms you might hit while doing double dutch.
|
|
That's how you end up with slowly swooning synthetics like the watery opener to 2008's Quaristice "Altibzz" or the vaguely orchestral plinks of Oversteps "Known(1)"—a record that, in general, provided a blueprint Arca's blissed abstractions half a decade before his debut full-length.

British trance trio Dario G keyed in on some of David Bowie's brightest work (the 1970 single "Memory of a Free Festival") for "Sunmachine" —a beautiful burst of buoyant kickdrums, jaunty piano plinks, and fluttering flutes newly recorded for this mix by Bowie's own long-time sideman and producer Tony Visconti.

Familiar piano keys run behind Southwe$t Mook's distinct Detroit accent on her new single "First Day In." The anthem plinks are drawn from the beat for Meek Mill's "Dreams & Nightmares," and as the song unfolds it becomes clear that Mook's story is intertwined with the piercing spirit of the instrumental.

A disco-era groove, giggly party chatter, cool vibraphone plinks and distant sirens surround vocals mixed and processed to melt into the haze — it's hard to decipher much beyond the phrase "get lost" — while in the video clip, animated photos conjure a Los Angeles of yesteryear, all sleek cars, sunny streets and casual smiles.

This music is indeed spare, lacking centered keyboards or rhythm guitars; in their place is an echo chamber filled with pingponging plinks, bleeps, squiggles, honks, vocal loops, symphonic airhorns, simulated a cappella singers going doo-doo and dum-dum, and any number of abrasive electronic scratches; even the token ballad soars and aches over incongruously syncopated squeals.

Placed atop it one or two at a time, like a series of cultures added to identical Petri dishes, are faster rhythms — plinks, hisses, clatters, typewriter-like clicks — calculated to move in and out of phase with the unswerving beat, merging with it and tugging against it, making each millisecond a reconsideration of timbre and momentum.

In "Sujak" from an upcoming album, "Language," the rapper Kim Ximya drops a few English words — "strip club casket body in the basket" — into nasal, percussive stretches of Korean, while the producer FRNK surrounds him with irritants, providing a buzzing electro beat only to interrupt it at will with crashes, thuds, plinks and digitally stuttered syllables that stay disruptive all the way through.

GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO The kondi is the Sierra Leone variant of the African thumb piano, and it plinks quick, terse, insistent syncopations all the way though "Titi Dem Too Service," by Kondi Band, which is the project of Sorie Kondi, a singer and kondi player from Sierra Leone, and Chief Boima, an American D.J. and producer with roots in Sierra Leone.

Minimal bass stabs and toybox plinks and whirrs accent joyful s--- talking. Songs generally clock in under three minutes. He sounds like he's having a lot of fun, which is all the album needs to be. But as the industry dictates, doing one thing well enough to get popular is not enough to stay popular, so there are also songs on here that paint him as lovelorn and heartbroken.

The track features vocodered backing vocals, courtesy of Bhasker, where he repeats the title of the song.

Young Magic's debut studio album, Melt, was released by Carpark on February 14, 2012. The LP was recorded in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, United States, Spain, Germany, Iceland, Australia and the UK. The New York Times described the music on Melt as "Lush and immersive, on Young Magic's debut the reverb ripples, synthesizers swoop, quasi-tribal percussion crunches and plinks and voices ooh and ah in washes of harmony." The BBC described the debut as "music that waxes and wanes, and explodes; and a great spirit which, rather than confine itself to basements and bedsits, aims its sights on the heavens". The band released the limited-edition Maps mixtape later that year, consisting of recorded material which did not fit on Melt.
