Siren (Featuring Shivonne)

Some information about this track’s processing: it was processed with “ The Pulsar Echorec” VST, so it should sound more analog. the Echorec disk involving magnetic saturation and hysteresis…I wanted a warped warm sound so there will be areas on the track where there are dropouts coloring and artifacts. I love the way it adds grit musically. It’s basically an old fashion tape machine. In other word, it dirties up the track, and adds character…I love it!
I’m not paid or endorsed by Pulsar.

The Same Circle 86 BPM

a danceable nic song, sounding like the others but now in an EDM kind a like beat.

..but I won't let it
