Interesting short repeating sound in the early part which sounds almost like vinyl surface noise. Not something that I’ve previously thought of as musical, but of course anyone who ever listened to music they’re fond of on vinyl will have rich associations with that.
Really enjoyed this one.
It’s actually just white noise as a layered effect as it happens, but yes, interesting how noise can do so much for texture and trigger memories of vinyl. In a way, texture/timbre is everything …thanks for your comments….
