Unworthy

Liner Notes

The first hour of writing this kinda sucked. I wanted to be inspired by a preset, so I went preset surfing, more specifically through the factory presets of the Europa synthesizer in Reason, and while I did find a couple of presets worth keeping for the future, I didn't feel like writing the kind of songs those inspired that day.
So what's next? I tried my hand at designing a sound of my own in that same synth (that I'm not very familiar with, honestly), and I managed to make something I liked better, but with some uncontrollable drive and resonance and keytracking interactions I later had to tame to make other things work with it.
Then I remembered there's also a wavetable import option, and I gave that a crack with the first movie dialogue sample I could find on my computer (namely from the movie Basic), that didn't work great, but then I randomly dumped it into a graintable synth instead, and liked what I came out with from there, and that inspired the rest of the song really.

Cool idea. Interesting quote. Love that bass synth. Sort of circling into hypnosis. Drone, and yet not.
