When I conceived the EP, I already had posteriority in mind. Something that people - hopefully - could look back to after a few years (or longer).
The setting I came up with is a "classic" 2-tracker release. With a clearly distinct A and B side. Maybe even more like a single release!
The A track is doomcore-hardcore-techno in style.
The melody may sound jammed, improvised, or created by spontaneous creativity. But the truth is it was mathematically planned. The whole melodic system is one big formula. There is not one note that would be outside this mathematic equation.
The beat and percussion - these were improvised, though.
This track was later remixed by various artists for another release.
The A track was meant to be the main track.
The B side was the additional part.
It's a beatless "doom" ambient track.
Was this one mathematically planned, too?
Far from it!
What I did here was: I set up my soft synth. Created a synth sound that I liked.
Then I turned off my speakers, headphones, any sound.
And I started to jam. Just pressed notes, like it felt right to me.
I should add that I did not know how to "read" notes, i.e. I did not know how a D# or G would sound.
I also had the clear intention to neither change, edit, amend, or cut notes. Or to do another take.
I finished the track without listening to it once.
I just hoped it would turn out okay.
Opinions might differ - but i do think it sounds quite okay!
