   "The music from the club, spilled into the alley, thick and low, like the heartbeat of the city. We had danced for hours. Now outside, the sweat shimmered and reflected like halos in the streetlights.

    We walked, As the music echoed behind us.  

We walked by night
 
   Our footsteps sketching a new rhythm on the pavement. The world felt wide and waiting, the kind of night that became our soundtrack.

   We walk by night"

Wanting to explore some different production styles and build elements to blend. With the goal of producing something special for the Color Squad Records compilation. 

Created in multiple Logic project sessions. Sound design and Beat building session - bpm 124. Mix and arrangement session. Final assembly in Mastering session. Midi soft synths (Vital, UA Polymax, Surge XT, Logics Retro Synth). Live percussion elements. Break beats: Dedalus - CT6 & Hilton Felton - Be Bop Boogie. Granular Re-synthesis of melody/lead using "bandlab" Audio stretch app on phone. Sonosaurus PaulXStretch app for textures.

The main lead/melody loop was created many years ago, for a part of a remix of "Kill or be killed" for my indie rock band, at the time. "Further"

A track we never released or published.  One of the lyrics in this song was "When we walk by night" (More to do with taking a dark path, rather than going to an after party) 

When the melody/lead was rediscovered while randomly going through files & folders looking/listening for some inspiration. The loop manifested a memory of going to clubs and the night life around 1990 in Sydney. Friends, the sounds, the drinks, the music and the walk/journey home. Ears ringing. Reliving the night. Feeling glorious. Being out in the night with friends. 

Writing a passage with this in mind. Green.Washer was generous with his time, to read through and record the "we walk by night" passage a few times via his phone. With limited info regarding its context or the music. He sent a few versions and they were edited into arrangement session. Thanks Green.Washer!
Tom Sine https://soundcloud.com/tom-sine has a contribution, with some very subtle/barely audible beats. And supporting guidance during the arrangement. When I got lost in the process...
A big thanks also to Spoutnik https://soundcloud.com/spoutnikz And the Squad!


I hope you enjoy

This is Pestilence, this part of the 5times1 explores what happens when pride becomes too strong, when ego starts to infect every part of you like a slow, creeping disease.

SHE TAUGHT ME A LESSON

The woman in the old house never spoke, but she watched me whenever I trespassed on her property. I mocked her silence, her strange gestures, her warnings scratched into the dirt.
Last night, she finally approached—cold, weightless, drifting.
This morning, my voice is gone, carved from my throat with perfect precision.
And in the mirror, she stands behind me, whispering, “Now you’ll listen.”

here is the release of the collaborative efforts of my original track edited & remixed by Mats. 

He really took it to another level - kinda epic 'James Bond Theme' with lots of new parts on synths, ambiences , basses & guitars. Congrats to Mats for this magnificent work, mix,  tone design & play :)

I highly recommend working on another's person mixes, it really opens much possibilities & inspirations. 

I made the final mix and here is the outstanding result , I especially like the guitar harmony work on this one :





FYI here is the reference track :
