FAWM: "Ambulancia"

Ambulancia

Liner Notes

Ambulance sirens in Spain are different to ours in the UK. I always felt there was something melodic, possibly hypnotic in their sound.

Nee nah

I've always enjoyed Spanish ambulance sirens too (a sentence I thought I'd type today!). Such a clever idea to use them for a song. Love the laidback groove here. Reminiscent of Lemon Jelly at points. Very cool!

Excellent concept for a song and sounds lovely. I can imagine myself cheerfully bobbing my head as I bleed out on the way to hospital. :) Great to hear you again, Dan.

Love this! The siren works so well as a base and all the extra floaty sounds make it such a beautiful track to listen to

Hopping back to this version after hearing the Anya-augmented one and it's lovely to hear the unadorned instrumental too - the ambulance really takes the lead here, and it's inspired sampling!

@owl 1w

Love the idea you’ve built this up around! And it’s very catchy and twinkly. Bopping along here.

@websheldon 1w

Ahhh what a great idea for a sample!! It's transformed a familiar every day sound into something with depth, a story and beauty! Awesome kick and synth accompaniments. Cool start!!

@afterschoolclub 1w

The ambulance in question was actually a Barcelona one as it happens!

@lemonbrew 1w

Toll wie du die Sirenen integriert hast, cooler Song!

@frenchcricket 1w

This is gorgeous! Dan, if ONLY someone would take it and do an unauthorised remix

@guatecoop 1w

Oh what a great base for a song. You have really created something beautiful here. I love it!

Ahh this is gorgeous and entrancing. Really reminds me of a lot of electronica I was listening to around the late 00s; Air France, Memory Tapes, that sort of thing. On paper the siren should get annoying, but on a 2013 macbook, it never does.

I felt this deep in my soul! That ambulance sound is incredibly hypnotizing!

@rshakesp 1w

I really like the atmoshpere you have created around your ambulance pulse, the bells and orchestral string and wind noises are really fun, as time goes on I feel that the ambulance becomes less grating as it blends into your sonic world. Really nice write this.

This is so cool! I like how it’s almost a tease of a song, once the kick came in I felt like I was just waiting for a super obvious snare to drop in on the 2s and 4s and go full banger, but it never did and I respect that. Excellent sample to use as the basis for a song and loads of cool little touches around it. Enjoyed this a lot
