The thrilling connection between analog and digital soundscapes within music is being brought to the forefront once again thanks to yet another genre-defying music producer, Analog Future. Today’s premiere showcases the production talent that lies within analog integration thanks to his newest release titled Darker Forest via Tuff Sounds, an East Coast label pushing experimental bass music. If you’ve been in search of a track that is bound to take you on a journey through space and time due it’s heavy basslines and dark atmosphere, we may have found just the solution for you that’ll break your repeat button. Now it’s time to take a deeper dive as to what makes this track what we like to call, a certified bop.
“This is an experiment that began in a darkening forest. The aim was to bring the music-making process to a new environment. Suddenly, I found myself in the middle of the woods with the dark rapidly approaching. With this track, I sought to capture that sensation of an imminent chase—a race against encroaching darkness—and all the mind games that come with the absence of light.”
DIVING DEEP WITH ANALOG FUTURE
Although my taste is constantly rotating in a multitude of directions (almost daily), the obvious answer here is “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. It has always been my favorite song of all time, even though there are many contenders these days. The dynamics and emotion are unmatched to this day. It goes from the deepest lows to the highest highs; musically, it takes you on every bit of a journey. And when those drums finally come in, it’s a feeling like no other – a ballad that quickly turns into complete rock and roll.
I would really like to see innovation and uniqueness receive more recognition. We need to strive to push the boundaries and not get stuck in what works or what is hot at the moment, that is how things get oversaturated and collapse. There needs to be more thinking outside the box, especially with arrangement and sound design. And I hope to see the traditional boundaries of genres dissolved, with the primary focus being on creating music that resonates with listeners and evokes emotions.
Things are not always what they seem, especially with today’s technology. We need to try to put ourselves in others’ shoes and remember that our perspective is very limited to our personal experience. Everyone is living in a completely different story, and we need to do our best to understand others’ perspectives.
