This track also features some blended double bass from Milo which helps give the bass a more organic and natural feeling. The melody for this came very naturally through improvising over the sequence. We tried to focus everything around the arpeggios and chords to create a feeling of a river of sound.
This was another one where we were inspired by the type of delay on 70s King Tubby and Lee Perry Records and we tried to create a sense of the saxophone really emerging and expanding out into the mix in the breakdown section.Įndless Fields – This was one of the first of the album tracks that we started writing, and represented a new approach in the compositional style. We spent some time gathering the field recordings and voices to make it feel like the music is emerging from the noise and clutter of a modern urban environment, with the voices and saxophone intertwining and calling out with their melodies. We went into the production thinking of pushing the bass and drums as much as possible, the bass sound was inspired by some 70s Lee Perry and Scientist records where the bass and drums really shake the speakers.īeacons – This was the last track we wrote for the album, and definitely has more of a hopeful feeling. We’d especially recommend listening to this one on headphones. It has some of the most detailed sound design on the record and was really enjoyable for us to make a deep, immersive sound world, with lots of detail. Phantoms Gift – For this track we used our modular system heavily to make a lot of the synth and drone parts have lots of movement and organic energy.
I think for us it feels like taking an early morning journey on a night bus the thoughts and feelings and sights and sounds that emerge and fall back into the darkness. It was heavily inspired by walks around east London’s docklands area during the first lockdown. We ended up settling on a darker, murky sound world, with the bass clarinet representing a more hopeful melody struggling to emerge throughout the track in different ways. Distant Siren -This was a track that went through many iterations, as we were playing with different moods to frame the main melody.
