NiElsir - Contraflow Continuum

Making this song was a side effect of the second shot of the Covid Vaccine. Feeling a lot better now!

Alias (feat. Scott Hayes)

“Anight” was one of the first songs I wrote for Contraflow Continuum, back in October 2021. Not long before I had come back to my flat after spending 6 weeks back in my home town visiting my family for the first time in close to 2 years. It was really great, but I had subtle constant stress that I wasn’t working on any music during that time and mentally - that was a challenge. When I got back to “daily life” I tried to force myself to complete music as fast as I could (something which I am not good at) and I struggled. Starting endless demos - trying to keep a particular feel and sound and feeling like every day was another 16bar loop. I was staying up later and later at night trying to make progress, cycling more and more every day to keep myself sane, and just hoping for something to fall together. Eventually I “gave up” and settled on working on a demo that was, at the time, called “house feel”. 

I knew it was a little bit different than my other work, using more acoustic sounds and a big portamento chord sound I made with a Prophet 5 emulation but I just wanted to finish something. I finished it over the next couple of weeks I called the final revision of the project “Anight” as I made much of the song at night time and I moved on. This song helped me get back to finishing music and I quickly moved on to work on some other songs for the album. 

A few months later, I had a lot more music completed for the album, and all that time I avoided this song, feeling as though I did not connect with it and due to that, I avoided listening to it all that time. 

Eventually, in early 2022 I sent the unreleased songs to Stratford Ct. and to my partner and asked what they liked and what single I might release...to my surprise ”Anight” was their answer. So I listened again that day having not heard it in a while, I had butterflies in my stomach and by the last section I had tears in my eyes, and I felt as though that last 1 minute might be my favorite part of any song I had written to date, it was definitely the first to bring a tear to my eye.
 
I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for listening.

A chill street that brings like-minded artists together.

NiElsir / Niall Mulcahy.

I started producing music when I was 14 back in 2004 - at the time free time was all I had and I enjoyed every minute of it - as I got older - life, work, studies all started to take over and for too long I did not have the time to focus on my passion - making music. 

In 2019, I decided to take time off work and focus 100% again on making music - to see if I could get anywhere and enjoy my passion again. I mostly produce electronic music these days - if you want to follow my music journey feel free to follow! 

And if you check out my music, thank you so much!
