Melodics Beatmaker Bootcamp – Apr-2024

This track was produced for the Melodics April 2024 Beatmaker Bootcamp.

My family is Sri Lankan. One of my favorite places in the world is Dambulla Temple in Sri Lanka. The temple is full of caves containing massive gold statues of the Buddha, with ancient skeletons of the original people who lived there before Buddhism's arrival to the country. I created a song that tried to capture the ethereal, frenetic energy lingering within a silent, echoing cave - the memories of the dances of ancient golden bones.

My biggest inspirations were both video games - Final Fantasy 6's World of Ruin theme for chords that reverberated through a haunting, empty space, and Sly Cooper on the Playstation 2 for the glockenspiel evoking a sense of motion in the night.

The album art is my modernized rendition of another nearby Sri Lankan landmark - the Lion Rock, Sigiriya, an ancient, crumbling palace atop a massive rock in the jungle that awakes millennia later and finds itself in a world that has left it behind.

The Temple of Golden Bones

My first track, this is for the Melodics beatmaker bootcamp, it's not great and Lo-Fi isn't my favorite genre but I figured Lo-fi would work best since I would be following along with TAETRO.

Track created for the Melodics Beatmaker Bootcamp. 

Imagine you wake up, but everything around you is new and strange, unfamiliar beyond just someone else's bedroom. You are in a different reality. How do you respond?

This is very much a parallel imagining of me stepping into the unknown of creating my own beats. I also deliberately tried to make choices that I would not normally make so just pushing myself a bit further out of my comfort zone.
