CTHULHU ft. Tha Fruitbat + Mr Bill -- Vocals by: Blockboii + Goopsteppa

ill.Gates presents his second sampler to his forthcoming album, Departures. This time featuring world renowned drummer / percussionist Ben Walsh playing the dulcimer and @katiasmusic providing the soulful vocals. Danidoo played the flute samples. 

Mad props to everyone over at Paradise One in Australia. 

Bamboo was mostly composed in Australia and Jamaica on a global pilgrimage by ill.Gates that generated much of the Departures and Terminally ILL material. The last stop on the trip was Bamboo Bass festival in Costa Rica. Katia's vocals were recorded outdoors on a rainy night in the bush. If you listen closely you can still hear the raindrops.

BAMBOO ft. Ben Walsh + Katia

This song took longer than any other song on the album. 

We wanted to make it a real journey, with very different emotional phases. It goes through three mode changes, minor to major to happy minor. Post Apocalyptic but somehow hopeful at the same time... 

I love it. 

Enjoy!
