This time it’s all about noise and contrasts. With this track we crossed the red line and did things you shouldn’t try at home: We gave the already gnarly growling bass by far too much space and on top we added a distorted drum movement. This muddy soup of noise has then been over-compressed and mixed with raw input to get back the distinct transients. Let there be noise!

The beast mutated unobserved for quite a while in a moist corner of our lab. We pulled it back into the DAW again to chastify that thing with some Shamisen and a 80s guitar part. Right, Shamisen - coz’ why the heck not? We never used one before. For some more contrast, we added the beautiful voice of Ratsouk. We love those vocals since Rewob delighted us with the brilliant song Close My Eyes And See.

For the freaks of music theory: We’re shifting constantly thru the scale of C and C# minor.

The mixing process was a tad difficult, we definitely mixed our asses against the wall here: Either the track drowned in low frequencies or it lost the oomph and then both. But EQs and noise/chain disentanglement came for the rescue. The devil is in the signal path.

Voila, c’est fait & wohl bekommts!
