Liner Notes

Perhaps the most conventional Me song I've done this month but what flows flows so

Fairly standard breakbeat and another with much delay on it for perucussion, 3 or 4 synth drones, a thoroughly broken sounding cello sample, and piano from NI Ashlight.

I like the calm vibes as I wake up this morning. There’s a spaciousness to this that contrasts effectively with the rhythmic elements.

very ambient, like the soundtrack to a nonexistent late 90s documentary or news bulletin. in the best way possible of course!

the swelling pads and rhythmic noisy synths together sound super pretty, the breaks are of course a pleasure to the ears

@tomgage 6d

Cheers man, much appreciated!

This is just massive. Really dig the soaring synths and that driving synth rhythm throughout. Great production too!

@tomgage 1w

Thank you so much! Praise indeed!

@wynia 1w

This is very "flying above the earth" to my ears, maybe conjuring a cityscape below at night. As a mostly acoustic musician myself, I am in awe of those who can create these sonic textures. It's so very cool sounding!

@tomgage 1w

Well thank you! Glad it was evocative!

And in this case it was mostly too much time in front of a computer but it isn't always that

@williamjames 1w

No idea what a break beat is. This sounds like a busy street in a very futuristic city. after the minute mark we lift into a much more mellower atmosphere. Maybe looking down on the city from the rooftops. Just as the break hits and we plunge back into the streets. What a ride!

@tomgage 1w

Haha well I’m glad you approve regardless! And that’s an excellent way of describing the mood
