He also puts out recordings of compact, snappy, emotive little exercises created entirely with the keyboard in question, revealing a pronounced knack for crafting enjoyable electro-pop miniatures to accompany his cataloguing of the devices. Following recent assessments of the Kawai MS720 and the Casio MT-30, his latest three-track EP puts the Yamaha PSS-130 under the spotlight, its square-wave function effectively making this a chiptune effort. The first two tracks are nice sketches, while the third, \u201cSquare Light\u201d, is longer, richer, and really quite satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 555px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2019199702\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/keenonkeys.bandcamp.com\/album\/yamaha-pss-130\">Yamaha PSS-130 by Keen On Keys<\/a><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Keen on Keys character is an (as yet) unnamed Berlin synth geek with a particular interest in archaic, simplistic, consumer-electronic keyboards from the 1980s, the recreational-purposes-only kind.
