Lustful created by Vlad Suppish.
"It has three layers. I've nicknamed them 'moans, groans and slaps' for this project.
"The first one is a field recording of a rusty merry-go-round which I've recorded in Kyiv. Heavily processed, it became the perfect source for moan-like sounds in the begining and through the entire track.
"The second one was song 'Infinity' by Aphrodite's Child from the album 666. Vangelis described the track as conveying "the pain of birth and the joy of intercourse." Great yet quite disturbing composition and an ideal source for processed groans.
"And as for the monotonous slapping and pounding, I've created a patch on a modular synth that relentlessly howls through the composition. In hindsight it reminds me 'Hollow Hills' by Bauhaus but that resemblance wasn't intentional initially.
All this was mixed to convey the sinister atmosphere of the second circle of Hell "as the lovers drifted into self-indulgence and were carried away by their passions, so now they drift for ever. The bright, voluptuous sin is now seen as it is – a howling darkness of helpless discomfort." (Dorothy L. Sayers)"
