“White Rabbit” uses a twisted, droning synth as its main lead that morphs and rises in tension and intensity.
Second up is “Changes” which has a more hypnotic stance that uses a pumping kick to march with great effect underneath dystopian textures.
“Mutaforma” has a pounding, raw feel followed by subtle harmonics and abstract, sci-fi tones to tell its melancholic story.
The funky roll of “Polarisation” has an instant warehouse vibe and more jackin’ feel with sweeping textures and stabbing loops.
“Freedom” is a little more experimental of the bunch, with a broken beat and soulful edge, using deep chords and quirky effects to add hints of an epic, old school style.
