Generative modular synth and Taiwanese Number Station. (  https://youtu.be/HPMxsnjwU9A )

Really moody. I like it.

Cool vibe.  I like the voices that crop up in the background.  Creates a nice air of mystery.

That Taiwanese Number Station really brings a strange vibe to the track. With the traditional Chinese music that sounds all distorted and downgraded by the radio noise, and the distant discussions. That was a cool idea to incorporate that into the track, against the inhuman sounds of the synth, which can sound like strings, warhorn, or white noise. Very trippy and slightly unsettling.

Never knew about those SW stations.  As a kid I had one of those and would scan for weird sounds/stations like that.  Really cool using the Taiwanese number station as inspiration.  That one bassy blurb really gives this an organic feel.  Nice work as always!

Thanks everyone!  I've always had a curious interest about the existence of number stations and the history behind it.  Lots of sonic space to weave the recording into.  smile
