Jay Tholen is an artist and musician from a rural unincorporated town in Florida. His style, though grounded in the realm of electronic and chiptune music, borrows many elements from the prog/art rock movement of the late 60's and early 70's. Consequently, the warm analog tones of vintage samplers and synthesizers permeate his discography. Ever submissive to his inner nerd, Jay never hesitates to include throwbacks to whatever dorky musician/film/book he is currently enamored with.
