Modem life is rubbish!

"I'm old enough to remember modem dialups when I first got online in the late 90s so this was a pleasure to hear the sound of a dial up again! The random beeps and noises of such a song suggested something quite abrasive to me so I took the original sounds and added some effects and created a noise piece originally but I wasn't happy with it. I isolated so of these effected noises however and scaled down the noise elements. From here I built up a new track with rhythms and loops from the original recording adding various levels of effects and noise coming off the original recording to create what I hope is a nice blend of sounds."
