and yeah --- Gate 138 --- phantastic piece!

the drums make me think of narada walden on led boots a little

Really adventurous sound! Gateway to an interstellar adventure where anything is possible.

Reduziert, irgendwie schon fast minimalistisch, was bei diesem Musikstück, das deutlich kürzer ist als der Beipackzettel dazu, den Fokus auf das Wesentliche richtet und diesen intensiviert. Und dieses Gefiepse, Geplucker und Getrommel häkelt sich regelrecht in mein Hirn. Da wird's wenigstens mal mit was Gescheitem gefüllt. ;o)

Well. There is alot to tell about this one and i fear i could write a book, but i spare you. Haha! I've discovered the Japan Synth Pioneer Jun Fukamachi quite some time ago and while doing so, i digged every possible Album on Youtube and leeched this craft. Also had the chance to buy me a few CD's, as there are not so much out there.... rare jewels ... :)

I simply love him. His diversity and ingenousness is something i really really set as a high mark for myself. As long as i can "recall", there was music in my life and even as a child and later on as young and old teenager i loved to go fully emotional with music (like listening to Seal - Kiss from a Rose when a girl broke up with me back then, or discovering ACDC's Back in Black feeling like a little Rocker.... Nirvana and the tragedy when i heard that "Kurtl", as we would could his first name in German, just put a (wtf) shotgun in his head and pulled the trigger... )

Later on i was a pure Metalbanger and even while being one, i was listening to all of the Subgenres, and liked them, no pure black, death, trash, power, or whatsoever,...... This is something i think was always there due to being libra zodiac sign... balance... I became older and suddenly metal was not enough... so i digged everything and no matter if its eletronic, oldschool rock, experimental, classic, ambient, jazz, blues, .... and so on.... i love the variety and this brings me to all of YOU.

I had tons of cds, the napster era , the youtube extreme "following the youtube algorythm into crazy places" thing, i was in wacken as young metalbanger, listening to classic concerts, going to musicals and even watching an opera.... diversityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... and now... soundcloud!!! I cannot get enough and if there would be a risk of getting a burnout from listening to all of you, id be the first, for real.

Now the song. I finished it before i even took the andrew huang online course and i am fking happy to exactly release it with the skills i had back then and i dont want to brag ... but i really cant tell you people what struck me back then... maybe this immense jun fukamachi listening and discovering alot of people on here, on the cloud, which already influences me ALOT.

I would not be at the place where i am right now, without YOU and so i dedicate Gate 138 to all of YOU. This piece is LOVE and FUN, and CRAZY and im putting a few words in CAPSLOCK, just because i CAN. HHAAHAHA.

The story behind this cover is a complete different one to tell and please dont be too hard on me because this text is already huuuuuuuuge and long! So finished the piece and i had this picture in my head. There was simply nothing i could get on the web to build it with my graphic skills, neither (not yet lol) am i able to draw it myself, so i checkt out Fiverr and looked for a special and unique artist with his very own style.... and i found him!!

John Bucknall. A young very talented artist from UK. He has as a very unique mindset and it took way longer than i wanted to... he was not very fast, but no complains here. The whole process from zero to the finished cover was just nothing i ever experienced before, and i am really happy that i did choose him and that he exactly managed to draw this stuff in his own style, but presenting that track in the way i wanted it to be with visuals. (btw we are both on the picture to discover..... heheh). You can find him here -> https://www.instagram.com/johnbucknallart

The story behind this is quite simple. You could transform the situation to any other stressed and crazy thing going on in your life. There is this little android guy and he is freaking out because he is about to miss his shuttle... he worked hard and is always flying around on business trips and hell yeah... life really treats him not so nice... haha. I feel really with him and wished he would catch the shuttle but yeah... whatever. 

Commander Fullyard out.
