Star Gazer ISS

"I wanted to try and create a hallucinatory sense of floating through a star field - having just been jettisoned from a malfunctioning and disintegrating ISS in a space suit with little oxygen. The last sound running through your mind as your air runs low is the ISS alarm. As you slowly sink into sleep the alarm appears and re-appears, sometimes morphing beyond recognition. I use the sample pretty much unprocessed at both the beginning and end of the track - then heavily process it across the central section of the piece, randomly and quickly transposing sections of it and applying effects. I used a generative modular patch to create a sense of a star field and combined this with epic yet melancholic melodies. The tempo slows across the final quarter of the track as our unfortunate space explorer falls asleep and floats off into the stars."
