ABOUT THE DARK TOWER

As the field recording captures the sounds of the construction site around the building, I tried to use some sounds which mirrored or matched sounds of construction. So the drums are created from me striking a ladder and then I used that to build up the main drum part.

The whole track is saturated in reverb as I wanted the sounds to distort and echo around, as they would around a large empty building.

There are lots of repeating themes and motifs throughout - repeating patterns of behaviour and the slightly jarring "scratching" elements that come in signify something unsettling and they disintegrate as the track goes on, which gives a sense of something not being right. It's there to make you feel a little uneasy, as if you're losing the plot.
