I browsed through Jon Fischer's works as I wondered how to approach this project, and what struck me was the fluidity of the works - in many of them, the colours seem to ebb and flow onto the surface. Each colour has its own rhythm and quality. Which then reminded me of water - and oceans.
When making this track, I contemplated on the idea of waves, and how they tumble through and onto each other as they approach land. Each has their own time as they individually navigate the geographies of the shoreline.
Layers 1-4: various sine frequencies
Layer 5: Vinyl sound
Layer 6: Vinyl sound, run through the Berlin resonator and Great Buddha phaser effects in Ableton 9.
