After making sure the background was eerie enough, I used various risers and impacts to lead onto different bodies of the track. However, nothing is too structured creating the sensation of hollow growth. After the atmosphere was created, I began layering on the drums, filtering the high end and leaving in a lot of low, deep sound. I think the track connected with me because of the chance to create the atmosphere of what and how I was feeling in the moment as well. There is a sense of eerie and grounded realism, which I feel portrays the current climate of the world right now – or at least my view of it.
For the main part of the track I added some high-pitched horror sounding strings, I then duplicated it onto another audio track and took out all the high end on the duplicated track to add a deep bass to back up the main string audio track. This, along with the background atmospheres made up the first main portion of the piece overall. I kept it overall very minimal so each sound would be important to the piece.
The track moves on and there is another string section before the kicks become more progressive and to slowly transition into the outro. Towards the ending there is also a recording of a corrugated metal flooring being scraped recorded with a contact microphone that i recorded near the London Eye which i felt fit in with the eerie, dark atmosphere.
