» Track Of The Month September ‘Malangen Fra Bruhodet’

A strange name for a track, perhaps. But, dear readers, it really is a strange track. It has some obvious shortcomings, we’re not gonna lie. It shows some promise, then fades away. We found it on a floppy disk lying between some rotten fruit and a bag of dead skin.

Still, we enjoy it, and it is our most humble hope that you can enjoy it too!

» Track of the month August ‘This Space’

Hi, dear fans and followers.

We have swum out of the mire to present you with a ‘farewell to summer’ tune. It is a melancholic mash-up of sorts, using elements from a few sources, with the track ‘This Space’, by the excellent Woolfy vs. Projections as the starting point. The original can be found here. As usual, we have gone on a complete journey with this, and think we have come up with a perfect late summer cinematic – we hope you agree!

Between two pages, in a dusty old book…

…we found this little number…

It’s called “Hus Nr. 9″, and is currently haunting the halls of the RYXP mansion:

» Track Of The Month April ‘Electric Counterpoint: III. Fast’

…Steve Reich, the composer? Why, of course you have! Well, for some reason unknown to us, we have been experiencing an inexplicable urge to make an edit of one of his tracks, called Electric Counterpoint: III. Fast.

We wanted to make our own version of this beautiful piece of music, adding beats and bass, and at the same time stay 100% true to the original arrangement. However, for our needs, we respectfully (although some might say cheekily) altered the whole song from a 3/4 to a 4/4 time signature. Not unlike how The Orb did it in their 90’s classic Little Fluffy Clouds. Actually, editing and experimenting with this piece of music turned out to be great fun!

So much fun, in fact, that we wanted to depart further from the original, and create yet another version. This time, using the tone quality of the original sample as a starting point, we embarked on an analog-fueled journey into repetitive madness and harmonic bliss.

Because of this, dear readers, we can now present you with two separate tracks of the month.
