"The SoundCanvas was first introduced to the world in the early ‘90s, and would go on to inspire generations of music makers," notes artist and album co-producer Jordan "Jamphibious" Reed. "Small yet powerful, the SoundCanvas features a wealth of quality sounds, features, and effects that can be used to bring countless musical ideas to life. CANVAS CITY features 17 fantastic compositions created using a variety of SoundCanvas units. Some of us grew up using these units since day one, others have only began exploring their wonders in recent years but were nevertheless inspired by their use throughout our favorite media. Regardless, this album shows the timeless influence of the SoundCanvas by bringing us all together, creating new music to share with the world."


Listeners who pick the album up on Bandcamp will also be treated to the original MIDI data (.mid format) for each song along with a digital booklet with liner notes and commentary on each track. The full track listing for CANVAS CITY is as follows:
