Distention

This track came together by accident (as most tracks do) while I was learning about displacement dissonance.

It starts with a slow breathing bassline that I made with the Sirin before clashing with a completely out of sync melody played on the Mellotron V, just some stabs really. Strangely, it seemed to work.

I used the Piano V3 to draw the attention away from the Mellotron, and while it doesn’t quite sit within the mix, it adds just enough tension to keep you interested, at least I think so.

It’s an evening track for sure. I feel tired just listening to it.
