Vertigo

[mp3]http://fs.maz.nu/vertigo.mp3[/mp3]

This musical track is my first full track created in Propellerhead Reason, and is fairly raw form at the moment: effects chains are incomplete, equalisers aren’t set properly, generally the mix is in need of “tarting up”. After buying some Jean Michel Jarre vinyl while in London, I think I can hear his influence in the choice of synth at the start. From there things go a little crazy. The tonality vaguely hovers around G-rooted aeolian and G-rooted melodic minor, though there are a lot of chromaticisms sprinkled into the textures that get layered up.

I hope the soundscape evokes the vertiginous nausea of looking down from the top of a bungee jump…
