Tooin

This is a track I started working on many many years ago. I finally completed it recently when I broke out all my old music gear. It was made primarily on three pieces of equipment. The Korg ER-1 rhythm synth, the Korg ES-1 sampler, and a Roland RS-5 synthesizer. Out of the three, the ES-1 was the real work horse. It handled everything except for some of the hi hats, which the ER-1 was used for, and the slow bass line, which was done with the RS-5.

I consider this track to be the best work I've done yet. It's got a lot more going on in it than any other piece of music I've created so far. I feel that while the other tracks I've made were good concepts, at the time of creating them I simply lacked the knowledge to make them really shine.

What I find most interesting is the fact that because I started it so long ago and then came back to it, my music taste has changed alot since then. If I had started this now it would be a very different composition, but I felt it was important to stay true to the original concept and complete it the way I had originally planned. The only deviation from the original concept is the slow but steady bassline. Without it the track just didn't feel like a unified piece of music.

I hope you enjoy it.
