Meet Salmon Warzynski, your typical American twenty-something, back in the States after that middle-class, post-graduation trek through Europe. He never meant to hurt anybody. He only wanted to throw away his cigarette butt. He didn’t want to litter. He had no idea what was in that trash can, and he certainly didn’t think it would explode, destroying Manhattan’s Fulton Street Train Terminal in the process. But it did. Now, with the NYPD, the CIA, the FBI, the mainstream media, and a band of homegrown terrorists all scrambling to catch him, Salmon must run — run for his life…
THE goods
THE love
“So this is definitely different, and unique for our blog. There’s definitely a unique passion and intensity to this music. It’s raw, interesting and vibrant.”
– Soundsphere Magazine
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from Salmon’s Run when I went into it, but I got something wild and weird in the way that only focused audio can be. This is about music, and how music doesn’t just enhance the storytelling, but is the backbone of every perspective to the narrative. The story wouldn’t be complete without the music that runs a gamut of genres, nor without the strange use of sound in semi-psychedelic ways.”
