sympathetic departure

By codydjango on February 15, 2026 5:51 am

it's been a rough few weeks and the cortisol has been building up, definitely. but it's coming to a head: tomorrow my wife and my toddler and I leave bc for a trip to peru. the bags are mostly packed, and as long as we don't forget our passports we're set.

It'll be my first time in peru, but my wife has been many times. Her parents have a house in lima, and we'll be staying there. I'm bringing along my m8 and an audio interface, so with a little luck I'll keep my weekly streak going. smile

this track was thrown together quickly. it's basically a little jam built around chopping of some vocal samples of my daughter and I, sequenced through the drum machine. actually, there's two drum machines here, one more chaotic, in the beginning, then fading out, and in the final third there's some pads that come in to quiet the chaos a little bit. the image in my mind is of an airplane taking off, rising above the day-to-day stresses, leaving that behind.

Frantic vibes, nice rhythm, fun techno. Wishing you safe travels.

Sorry to hear it's been stressful! This feels like it blends those feelings you must be feeling together so well. I especially love those pads towards the end. Travel safe! heart

Great rhythm and vocal chops - kid voices make for the best rhythmic chops. This track really gets you moving! I hope you have a safe trip!

Love the rhythmic aspect to this track.  Hope you're having a good time in Peru.  That's been on my list for a few years now, I'm a little jealous.
