She approaches her front door, punches in the security code, and steps inside her home. As soon as she's in, her feet slide out of her "Irregular Choice" heels. She treats herself to a glass of red wine, and the blinds outside quietly lower on their own. She's exhausted.

Turning up the volume on her home theater, she calls out, "Hey Siri, play 'Playful Seduction.'"

Playful Seduction

You're part of a creative team, collaborating to craft something extraordinary, something that stretches boundaries and invites new perspectives.

Then there's Keith.

A team member whose offbeat ideas often surprise everyone. He doesn't just bring quirky concepts to the table; he also takes charge of various tasks. 

Initially, his unconventional approach to the beat raises some eyebrows, but it ultimately turns out to be a turning point for the project. It transforms over time into the "spiritual shuffle" he called it. 

As the music evolves, the bass aligns perfectly with Keith's innovative vision, validating the path the team has chosen.

Despite some lingering doubts, Keith demonstrates how vital the drummers can be in shaping the overall vibe of the composition. His unique approach injects a captivating energy that captures everyone's interest.

At one moment, Keith makes the bold decision to drop the beat altogether, opting instead for percussion accents and subtle rhythmic hints. This daring choice showcases his willingness to defy convention.

Thanks to his ingenuity and determination, the track titled “Nag Champa” emerges as something truly unique and groundbreaking.

This experience underscores the power of thinking beyond the ordinary to achieve remarkable artistic outcomes.
___  
The song “Nag Champa” draws its inspiration from the famous incense of the same name, which was actually burning while the team was creating the piece. This added an atmospheric, sensory element to the song’s development. 

The name is significant, as Nag Champa incense is loved for its enticing scent that can transport you to a serene and thoughtful place. Similarly, the song "Nag Champa" aims to take listeners on a journey, evoking feelings of elevation and exploration in a unique musical space.

We’re thrilled to present "Calibre," a collaboration between Keith Alban and @psytraxxmusic. Inspired by the “Chapter” of the DepthCORE artistic guild also named Calibre, we merge our creative expressions. While Sven Klitsch isn’t part of this project, Keith from Miltenberg and Psytraxx from Aschaffenburg combine their distinctive sounds.

This piece also pays homage to the cherished TV show "Airwolf," which had a profound impact on Keith’s upbringing. You’ll find its essence woven throughout the music. Our shared musical journey sets the stage for an exciting experience: "A Trip To Elsewhere Part II."

** Sleep Token fans, how did you feel the first time you heard "Sugar"? My reaction was unforgettable after creating this back in the early 2000s!** https://soundcloud.com/sleeptoken/sugar-1?si=0525336e906440d1ac748643ef8c14c0&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

__Behind the scenes__

The journey from "Pre-Calibre" to "Calibre" is a sonic illustration.

From Fragmentation to Cohesion: Individual, somewhat disparate sounds in "Pre-Calibre" evolve into a unified and integrated sonic tapestry in "Calibre."

From Potential to Realization: The nascent musical ideas and potential dualities present in the rougher track are fully explored and realized with greater depth and nuance in the finished version.

From Exploration to Narrative: The searching and experimental feel of "Pre-Calibre" gives way to a more structured and narratively driven sonic experience in "Calibre."

It's like watching a sculptor take raw clay ("Pre-Calibre") and, through careful shaping and refinement, transform it into a detailed and expressive sculpture ("Calibre"). 

The underlying material might be the same, but the final form and the story it tells are vastly different.
