High In The Sky

The tracks in the collection date back to as far as 1999.  For example the oldest track
in this collection is "I've Tripped" which was a an example track I was using
to demonstrate the Spektral Delay during it's development...
Like many of my electronic compositions, both "I've Tripped" and "Don't Kick 'Em"
were envisioned as 'songs'  (with lyrics and singers and stuff...)  However after numerous attempts
at finding singers I like and / or were compatible with I eventually gave up.  

In the meantime I had also written a program for Native Instruments called the VOKATOR.
During my research into vocoding products and their feature sets (in preparation for Vokator),
I was playing with a very awesome software simulation of an analog vocoder by Lazyfish,
the original Reaktor prodigy.  My experiments with Lazyfish's vocoder examples led to the 
production of "Exhale."

The Vokator gave me (and many others) the ability to disguise my voice behind a palette of 
juicy synthesizer sounds, which I used when creating the basis track for "High In The Sky."
However, after numerous tries I too gave up on the idea of producing Synthi-Pop.  And many such
tracks got sent off to the proverbial Church of Euthanasia.  On the other hand a small number
of these so-called Synthi-Pop experiements got recycled and re-processed and gained a life of
their own.  Most notably of which is "High In The Sky," many years later getting thrown
into the sampling-lathe and re-serialized into what we hear today.
