Created drum and bass sounds, based on the sound of Kraftwerk. And then bended the harmony modulations towards a jazzy, psychedelic place. And finally glitched and funked the whole thing up and added a NI Reaktor preset that sounds like R2D2 to rap a thing or two of it's worries and complaints.

Neo Existentialism

A sneak preview of a track from our upcoming 4th Hybrid Symphony, which is loosley based around afrofuturism and latin american dances.

"Look mom: No AI!"

Scherzo 2 in 'Nr°5 - Cellular City'  - 97 bpm
Cyber-Scherzo in D Phrygian

Just like in 'Endoplasmic Underground' we used a lot of adhesive tape recordings to enhance the kick and make percussion. The melody hook is a layer of NI's Razor and a tweaked preset of NI's Kinetic Metal in Kontakt, a found sound based sample library. Somehow we got them in tune. =)

Cytoplasm is the fluid 'atmosphere' of the entire cell. It is essentially just salty water, the one drop of the ocean, that each and every living cell brought with it, on it's journey. Whereever that might be - still under water, on land, or high up in the sky.

chaos protects us

There are times when I think that I look forward to reading these descriptions (that I write) so I can understand what it is I just made and why I made it.  

Somehow, I seem to have the power to baffle myself.

For example, today's Interbay track, "Can't Escape It", started off as a simple repetitive riff that fell somewhere between dark afrohouse and a housier version of phonk (maybe?)  And somehow that simple riff turned into this synth pop industrial tech house radio track?  (How did this happen?  No, seriously, i want to know.)  

Where did the "(I Just Died) In Your Arms" by Cutting Crew" style keyboard chords come from?  Why did I think that was the missing element in a track that sounded nothing like that?  How about the oddly dissonant bass sweeps or the comet trail synth fx or the nasty distorted factory sounds?  

...and for all of these rather disparate and unexplainable ingredients, the end product is surprisingly sweet and tasty--if yesterday's track, "Falling In and Out" was one of the more pop-focused Interbay tracks ever, "Can't Escape It" sure feels like another one.  (Am I learning? Am I gaining skills?  Will tomorrow's track be nearly unlistenable?  ;) )  

Now, you may be wondering about the thumbnail image (me too!)  The vocal samples each came from different royalty free sample packs and didn't have anything to do with each other--one being pop, the other having an afrobeat feel to it...but, and I didn't notice this until I started thinking about what a good thumbnail image might be--as much as I'd LOVE to claim this was all by design, it is just one of a billion happy accidents that Interbay has been blessed with--the lyrics could be interpreted as being a retelling of (at least one of the versions of) the movie Blade Runner.  

I'm sure these aren't the actual lyrics being sung, but if you squint your ears, you can convince yourself that you're hearing "Want more life, want more time"--which sure sounds like what Roy Batty came to earth to ask Dr. Tyrell for...  And then, the main hook (the poppy vocal), it feels like Roy accepting his fate--that when they're all alone, they can't escape it.  

Again, I'd love to take credit for this as having been planned--but, I must admit that it wasn't.  

Anything else?  Well, be warned--some of the bass in this track goes very low, indeed.  (In my head, I sounded just like Michael Caine just then.)  I produce in headphones so I don't know for sure, but if you play this through speakers...keep an eye on your woofers and subwoofers to make sure you're not damaging anything.  (Or just turn the damn music down--though, I know you won't...and neither will I.  ;)  I'm sorry, what???)  

All the usual requests:  Please listen!  Give this a like, a repost, a share, a comment, an add to a playlist...and follow this page for even more Interbay, a daily shot of unexpected, unexplainable, and sublime accidental brilliance shared just for you!

This is my second mix. Heavily inspired by Wobbleland 2017. It is smaller one because I'm messing around with Riddim and slower heavy dubstep.
