about

The artist's own words about making the Drum and Bass track 'Choosing the Right Answer':

"In 2018, I decided to enroll in a sound design class to study Wwise and sound implementation in gaming. For nine months in a row, I went to classes two times a week after work and studied full time each Saturday. Apart from that, I had a full time job and also was crazy enough to engage in movie and game projects as a sound designer and music composer. And on top of that, I still had my homework.

So, I had no time for my music during this period. But at the end of the course, when I started getting some free time, I began working on this track. The first thing that emerged was this repetitive synth sound. I used a lot of overdrive effects and put bitcrushers and granular distortions on it. I did not make it on purpose, rather this sound resonated with how I felt throughout these nine months – tense, exhausted and nervous, caught in a repetitive scenario.

There is a unique thing about this track, too. For the main sound in the breakdown, I used the sound I got from interacting with the 'Oil' installation created by Russian media artist Dmitry Morozov, aka ::vtol:: . This interactive installation is a hydraulic press that can crush practically any object. As the object is being deformed, the sound that is being produced is recorded by special microphones and a computer algorithm subsequently makes a 20-minute long sound out of it. This installation is aimed at showing people that you can get rid of a material consumer object and get a unique abstract work of art instead. I destroyed a 3.5 mm jack - 6.3 mm jack, got the sound recorded on CD and used it in ‘Choosing the Right Answer.’

One more thing – the game company Odd-Meter used this track in a teaser for their Indika game."
