Metallic Machine's inspiration came mainly from my time working as a car body part welder. I crafted the track with a very mechanical flow, lots of metallic and machinery sounds.

These were the kind of sounds that constantly entered my brain as I performed repetitive tasks such as requesting subgroup parts through logistics network terminals, receiving them at the welding stations, locking them into computerized pneumatic supports, welding them with huge spot welding machines and storing them in racks ready for delivery. Sometimes when I did manual stations near automated ones I often found myself competing with a spot welding robot, trying to beat its efficient cycle times.

In the distant background a thunderstorm is brewing and the metallic machine is forever working.

Metallic Machine

In Underground City Ride I wanted to sound the metropolitan subway travelling experience. It's a transport system I've always been fascinated by, along with high speed trains which are also electrically powered.

This track is charged with magnetic grooves and energized rhythms, that will rapidly take you through a dark path right into your destination.

Escape Velocity is about atmospheric exit and entry, space traveling, culture shock with distant world alien civilizations. It was a real pleasure to compose, I just couldn't get enough of the tribal percussion, ripping basslines and intense sound effects.

Before you press "Play" buckle up and get ready to take off because you're in for the ride of your life. As your spaceship blasts through space it will progress through textured soundscapes, leaving only a trail of cosmic dust behind.

People often say that without traveling and new experiences something sleeps inside us. Random Places is the sonic proof to that statement.

The most prominent feature in this track is a perfectly executed crossover between two sections with different tempos. I used it to emphasize the listener's perception of sudden arrival at a dark, industrial, unknown place, and to express the feeling resulting from that event.

Sonic Reality's bonus track was heavily influenced by Anarchy Online's desert music, aswell as by some of my nomadic experiences. To sound this kind of atmosphere I used ghostly, windy, tribal elements, aswell as melody performed with virtual oriental instruments like the koto and sitar.

It's during times of scarcity that we learn to value simple things like water, food, shelter. Things that we normally take for granted, but when deprived of, endanger our survival.

You have to confront someone to really know them. To know yourself, you have to traverse the desert of the Digital Winds.

Digital Winds

What started out as a galloping bassline experiment at the Cyber Chaos Crew groove labs suddenly became a cybernetic flying horse, majestically flapping its bladed wings through the night sky.

This powerhouse track was brought to life with high voltage synthesis and robotic rhythm. It takes the Sonic Reality listener through a powerful comeback, after enduring Digital Winds' deadly desert crossing.

Cyber Pegasus

In the last Sonic Reality track we go on a journey into the darkest places in cyberspace, where the digital consciousnesses of the dead lurk among the massive global network data blocks.

Will you help them return to the physical world in a cybernetic body or delete them if they so desire? Listen to Virtual Voices and make up your mind!
