Fusion

"As I listened to the field recording my attention instantly went to the polarity of city and nature sounds. My intention was to fuse them with each other, bringing harmony to nature and the way we humans live on this planet.
"I started off experimenting with the sample, trying to bring out different resonances and my first feel was like an ambient type song. I brought in some synthesizers, into this mixed sound of crickets and traffic. Played a bit with the sonic depth of field and opened up a realm, which I could explore.
"In this realm I could feel the energy rising, an ambient track would not represent the place from where the recording was taken. It needed more groove, it should be danceable but also relaxed at the same time.
"So I fused organic percussions and instruments with synthesizer and a beat. I also fused the original recording with the whole track, there are parts where the recording is present and gets room to come more into the foreground and on other times it is nearly totally quiet in the backgrounds, but it always adds its sonic character.
As I always tend to do, I imagined the song as a sonic journey, taking you into that other realm, showing the possibilities and gently bringing you back to reality with this new experience.
"I believe if we reconnect more with nature and let nature's frequencies get us in tune again, we may find ways to fuse our modern way of living with nature in a way that will benefit not only us humans as a species, but our Mother Earth as a whole.
