Escalate

Hello folks!
This week, a track about escalation. It could be an orgasm. It could be a crisis. It coud be the movement from peace to war. The loss of control. The vertigo of falling. Or the thrill of take-off.
I think I really love this one!
It's the first time I'm working this trick I think. The kick is midi bent. So it makes the tempo of the track. But it's not the proper DAW tempo that is accelerating, so all other midi operations and audio processes are bind to the daw tempo, so it gives this polyrhythm touch.
I think I found one direction to work on this year. I've always loved to work with polyrhythm or polymeter. I might go further towards this path.
Produced with Ableton. The kick comes from my M4L drum synth, which is currently in development and which I hope to release soon.
Enjoy!
