Requiem for Olivetti Dora

Composition by Daniel Chudley - Le Corre.
"I have used the full sample as an introduction and then cut it up to create the rhythm. Taking inspiration from factory lines and repetitive melodies.
"The track I have named - “Requiem for Olivetti Dora”
"From humble beginnings to the mass production on these beautiful machines.
The sound of type writers bringing forth new ideas on mass . Factories of typists , armies of fingers with ribbons of ink bearing their standards. This piece is a day in the life of an idea, created in one of these utopian inspired type writer factory communities the Olivetti family created.
"An echo of the past gradually lost in the desert of progress."
