about

Tradecraft.
I can't believe it! I don't think I've ever written a project on so many to-do-lists.
As you can imagine I'm so thankful I pulled through and that it's finally out.

This track is the first one on that I give you the option to support my work financially if you like so. But it makes me extremely happy if you just download it for free as well.

I started this track in the september of 2013, and it was 98% finished until february, it took me until july to finish the final detail - switch the movie quote (from Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty) into the same but in better quality...

This project contains about 80 Tracks - I'm very pleased except for the final mixing & mastering - the low's are too loud - but I figured it would take me forever to fix this, because my current workstation can't handle the project file anymore...

The story of the artwork is similar - the initial idea, based around the whole tradecraft term ( for more -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradecraft ), is also from around that time, and on January 21st I've bought a 30x30 cm canvas for the final artwork to motivate me to finish it - which i did - on October 26th, 2014. I've also finished the digital coloring that day - the black & white original is now neatly mounted on my wall.

None the less this track is a success - I'ts in the exact mood that I wanted and it's maintained over the course of the track, varying in different parts but glueing the track together, creating a path through the whole soundscape.

I've created every synth in it, recorded and sounddesigned the clap layers myself, used own recordings for the insane bass mayhem at the last part. So there is a lot of sounddesign in it, only the kicks, hi-hats, rides and the snare of the first drumloop are samples from somewhere else that I've rarely edited myself.

This is the first (and so far only) track where I've rewired Reason into Reaper for a huge part - Almost all of the synths were created that way.

Also I've bounced all of the tracks except the drums before compressing each one and compressing different groups in order to really glue it together and get more used to the concept.
