Halcyon

Gnossiènnes (Atmosphere)

This song was created by sampling a few parts of Never Die (Extended) by Lashia & Sergio Rincon, most notably, I kept the riser and drop from the original track and turned the first note of the main riff into a bass stab. No more than 60 seconds of the original track was used as per the licensure agreement. Around 1:07, the rise and drop come in dragging from the offbeat and quickly resolving back to the downbeat. This is a remnant from the original track that I opted to keep because it adds subtle tension and grabs your attention in a way that does not throw the entire track off (plus, it helps me fulfill the time limit agreement ;)/SOME traces of the original track must be subtly present)

This is a tech house track that incorporates elements of deep house, synthwave via a rolling bassline to add motion, progressive house, and disco. Another layered track, this one is also a bit challenging to master and may or may not be above my current mixing capabilities. The "Wall of Wurlis" also makes a return for this track as a subtle background keyboard.

It is repetitive, yes, but it's techno after all. You create motion and changes via layering rather than chord progressions or melodies, although this one is more melodic than most due to it containing house and disco elements within it. This is also why it contains two drops and why there are several sound effects thrown in here and there throughout the track, including bass squelches, a gong, a reverse crash, a phaser on some tracks, etc. This is a frequent comment I get, which I 100% agree with, and it's absolutely accurate & I always appreciate constructive feedback as this is CRITICAL to putting out good music on the market. Likewise, I enjoy being transparent/upfront with audiences and listeners, and I want to acknowledge that I do take feedback into account, and it has helped me big time. In some cases, it's an intentional/desired effect, such as with this song/too many changes to the track's melody/chord progressions, and it's not techno anymore. The toughest part is finding that balance so you retain that hypnotic effect while keeping the track interesting and engaging.
