First, wow I can relate to "the bulk of my production on a Saturday".

This is a really cool track, which sounds a little flippant but like I dunno - I get a very 1980s Keanu Reeves in my head saying "hey this is way cool man". It's got that Bladerunner feel but there's a lot going on here that just sounds "cool", I really, really like it lol. I feel dumb. It's awesome.

Side note: if you need a brief for inspiration, please knock on my door, I promise I'm more fun than ChatGPT. (also those reference tracks ... I suppose they are all similar in that they use synthesizers? ChatGPT needs to up its listening game).

Lol, thank you, and I mean, some of the briefs I've read from directors... are... shockingly similar to that, particularly with regard to references.  Admittedly most of the craziest ones I've seen are referencing scores of movies, but some times its like "I don't think this person has ever actually listened to the score of that film".   One brief I came across recently, used the Minority Report as a reference... and also didn't want any orchestral elements... in my head I was like "wait... didn't John Williams did the score for the Minority Report... it's like ONLY orchestral elements... so you want something like what you IMAGINE the Minority Report's score would be... if it wasn't anything like it actually is... MMMM... kkkkkkaaaaaaa"

Damn, this feels excellent! Super well produced overall. The vocals are awesome, the percussion is solid, the synths are delicious. All around banger. Feels like the soundtrack to the inside of an evil insustrial building filled with machine building monks. BAD ASS! Hahahaha...

hope the transition to the new gig goes smoothly, my Friend!

Love all the sounds in this especially the lil ear candy bits and fills.  Gotta love that classic CS80 sound.  Head-nodding mid-tempo grooves throughout from start to finish.  Yais i like!

A moment of honesty, I hate when music is described as cyberpunk (a thing happening more and more in industrial land) but I'll be damned if this track didn't pull it off.  I hear echos of Blade Runner obviously but also The Matrix, Tron Legacy and some 2077.  Very well done, 100% coming back to listen again.

First, I totally get the creativity under pressure bit.  When I got lots of time in front of me, it’s hard to get into the groove or find anything that sticks. But when it’s Sunday afternoon and the clock is ticking, the adrenaline kicks in, the senses sharpen, and the playing just flows out of some primordial reservoir. Echos in Static has that feel of emergence. Really like the pulsing bass line and tight drums underneath a playground of synth textures and yearning vocals. Definitely got that Blade Runner vibe. Great mix and well produced.
