Description
Night train is a piece I originally laid down on - you guessed it - a train shooting through the darkness from Stockholm to Gothenburg in Sweden earlier this week. That's one of the great things about laptops as a portable mini studio! I had been in correspondence with my good friend Skean about doing another collab and he suggested I have a go at the first tracks. I didn't think it would happen quite this quickly, but there you are.
Since I was on the train without a keyboard it was a bit tough to do serious melody work, and I wanted to capture the impression of the sights and sounds and overall feeling of the trip, so a lot of loops were used and abused. I sent the file 'north' to Skean (who was unfortunately too far away to get together in person) and he laid down new intro and extro plus lots of cool tones, sound fields, and FX along the way to make this what it now is. In a sense we reversed roles between this piece and our previous collab. (Shining Deep Take a Ride ). It seems like however we start something cool happens. This is our third joint composition.
My hat's off to you Kent - you have a great feel for this kind of music bro', and you are always a pleasure to work with!
From Skean: "I must tell you after I put it in GB I was hooked at once and had lot's of fun - it was a blast doing it... and you know I like trippy tunes."
He is so modest!
