Story

Put together note by note using the music system which is inside the game 'Dreams' on the Playstation4. This is a 3d environment using the PS4 controller only. Instruments were selected from uploads shared by other users and then modified in the system by myself. You are able to record 15 second samples which I could have done and record original Sid sounds but I knew what I wanted it to sound like in the end.

The title… Ah yes. I dedicate this track to Frida as without our constant chattering about all things Hubbard and Lightforce this wouldn't have happened and under her suggestions I changed a few things up.

Also my daughter who bluntly said That bit sounds crap, Dad so those ideas or instruments were scrapped.

A relentless, driving remix for sure. The soundscape works well here but the unwavering 16th bass notes do get a bit tiring after 5 minutes. The remix would have benefited from a little more variation especially in the drum-loop department. A 'let-up' in the driving rhythm just here & there would have added some emphasis to the 16th beat rhythm when it returned. Overall, this remix benefits from it's simplicity. A good 1st attempt which is faithful to the original. I look forward to hearing your next upload..

Fascinating story of how this tune was made! Abynx didn't post it, but there's also a video of this remix being played back inside 'Dreams': https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=YuAVJtmGaa4
