Well, writing a short bit about the first track of the album. I finally got all the pieces together and managed to start composing. It was pushed back by the fact that I needed to write out what each track is about; to give them their stories that they rely on. I'm not throwing out story telling entirely, but the overall story will not be a finished one.
Second reason for starting only now is the fact that I was searching for a few new instruments to play around with. I found a small firm called Tonehammer who make excellent sampled instruments, and I've bought four of them for scoring this album; their sampled Didgeridoo is excellent and is featured quite prominently in the first track, their Epic Dohl library, which is something I've been looking for a long time, the dreamy sounding Propanium and their latest Bamblong library. I also bought Bela D Media's Sampled Landscape, which contains some very cool instruments and drones.
The first track of the album is turning out very nicely. It's a bit ambientesque as there will not be that much melody in it. It is the prologue for the album and it sets up the overall sound and feel. For this the first track is called: Zero.
