Encrypted

[If you didn’t enjoy this song or play it all the way through, I honestly would love to hear negative feedback!]
I made this track on the OP-1 and luckily stumbled upon some sounds that got my imagination going. There are 4 different sounds at work. I like to think that this borrows elements from some of my favorite musicians: Boards Of Canada, Ben Frost, and Kevin Drumm.
For your reference, some of my favorite sounds are:
- Lawnmower
- Dishwasher
- Oscillating room fan
- Airplane cabin
- large sheets of metal hitting each other
I wanted to put the piece in a “disturbing” context, so the track title was maybe more important. I landed on “encrypted” and was really happy to find something that had room for interpretation. One sense is that something is encrypted the way data is encrypted. Where something can be hidden from view, or even lost forever, but be right in front of you. I visualized being trapped behind an unlockable door. But you could also imagine a literal crypt.
This piece freaks me out. I hope it freaks you out too!
