This one took a big turn, started with the idea of scratching the line "proceed with caution as you enter the symphony", used Spitfire BBC symphony to create an orchestra, but that was really hard and sounded lame.  Then I was driving home from work and listening to Public Enemy's "Can't Truss It" and was inspired by the female vocal sample that's scratched by Terminator X in the chorus.  Ripped off that idea and was happier with the result.

Special shout out to Tone Matix and Neon Liminal, your music served as my soundtrack on my morning trail ride today, the beauty of your music matched the beauty of the scenery, everything blanketed with fresh snow and thick crystal like frost on all the trees.  Also "Pax Intima" is a great track to motivate you to get up steep icy hills.

Supergood result. Great track.

this is SO GOOD, Jason

atmospheric but focused

Chill, well tuned, tasteful sound design. I like this! The chopped vocal sample sounds a bit like the geese squawking loops at the end of Pink Floyd's "Bike".

Love those sparkly synths on the opening.  Like a flower blooming amongst the gritty but steady flow of the drums.  Really cool idea with the scratches and fx on the vocals.  The bass is super deep and just drives the track quietly along.  The main melody of the lead synth is soothing to listen to as it wavers about.  Outro chords extra appreciated +1
Also! dang it's a good thing you can't see gingers blush in text! yikes Honored by your kind shout out and so happy it gets listened to on scenic trail rides.  Thank you smile

First, I'm honoured! I love being a soundtrack for people's moments when they're on their own and just immersing in music, that's awesome, thank you heart

Beats and scratches and drums in this are just fantastic, the orchestra behind is beautiful. Reminds me of Massive Attack's Paradise Circus, all the parts are really clear and defined and vibing perfectly. Loved this.

Man, I love your beats! This is a highlight I think. Love the scratching. But its all so good, the atmosphere, solid drums, working well throughout. So cool that was inspired by "Can't Truss It", I gotta go play that now.
Much respect for getting out on trail rides. I have not been going since its been colder, but we don't really have snow just rain (kinds of weird winter that way), so I should really go slop it up out there a little bit.
