Artist notes:
The song was composed with an old Alpha Juno analog synth and a modular synth. I recorded a number of improvisations to make sure that the minimalist playing would hold up with a minimum number of notes. I’ve summarised the most outstanding performances for this piece. The subtle melody is influenced by the melody of Angelo Badalamenti, who I listened to when writing this piece.
