about

The backing drone to this track took me ages to set up. Its a barber pole phaser sound, you can get big complex hardware devices to make this sound, but I did all this with multiple recordings of a single phaser. The resulting audio clips were then looped and overlaid to create a rich rolling sound. It runs throughout the first and final sections of the piece and underlies the simple melody on top.

The first part of the track is pretty minimalistic stuff really. And that's me chanting over the top of the synths trying to sound full of eastern promise....
