Until we travel the future

Train through Bulgaria reimagined by Heiko Jay.

"I've always liked the rhythmic sound of the train tracks and with this field recording I have the perfect template for the snare rhythm track. The bass kick and hi-hat are also snippets from the original sound.

"I also used parts of the recording for the bass sound. For this I use the EQ to only allow low tones to be heard.

"For the synth-like sounds I used the Resonators plugin.

"I recorded the voice sample myself, it repeats the phrase "Until we travel".

"Since the rhythm in the original is quite fast, it is associated with a fast train journey, possibly even in a futuristic city.

"The jazzy futuristic music style and the audio effects reinforce the whole thing even more."

Part of the Until We Travel project to map and reimagine the sounds of transport and travel in a pre-pandemic and pandemic world. See the whole project at https://www.citiesandmemory.com/travel.
