We caught up with multi-instrumentalist GameBoy virtuoso Matthew Joseph Payne this month to find out what’s happening with his project The Mineral Kingdom, which has evolved from a solo project to a full band back to a one-man band again. We chatted about vibraphones (his current obsession), the process of composing chiptune for band arrangement, and how his music and performances are changing since moving away from the Mineral Kingdom band.
