about

This was my first foray into using Reaktor for every aspect of the sound and track. The Massive Drum sequencer was the symth of choice here and I loaded samplemaps of all of the samples on E|Drums 2.0 into it and then mined over 300 loops for use in the track. Even the bassline came from a drum sounds through the synth.

The thing I love about Massive is that no matter what sound or timbre you throw at it, it spits out the most usable sounds and loops imaginable and you can really here that in the finished recording.

I got the vocal samples again from the Crate Diggers pack and the loops together with this gave it a theme of a track for a horror movie or old scifi movie.

The pads heard throughout were created with exactly that in mind in order to create that tension throughout the track as it builds up throughout.

This was also the first track I really felt I had got the build up to the final drop right, after lots of experimentation. I love how it filters and reverbs out before smacking you in the face when the beats and sounds come back in. This is the reason I make music.
