OK, let's go!

I made this track for a remix context, here's the link to the original if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xhJXGCf-bk

I chose this very long scene from Andrei Tarkovsky's "Stalker" because I thought it fitted well to the theme of the track. The three characters travel into a dangerous place in this scene. Each one of them has a different motive and high hopes for the outcome, but they also fear what they might find.

It's time for another experiment! I recorded myself drawing the infinity symbol with a pen on paper. Turns out I drew it at a pretty steady 139bpm - not bad. I recorded a few more sounds and tried to make a drum loop of sorts in Reaper.

So, this is my review of the Syntakt.

I'm still pretty nervous when I start recording. So, in the beginning, you hear me breathing out, the microphone of my camera caught that by accident. But I think it's only fitting for the track: Take a deep breath, breath out slowly and let it all just happen.
