haha Thanks:) that hollowness happened totally by accident, I forgot to copy the main pad tracks and then played it back and was like "woah! that sounds really depressing and empty!" which to my ears, is a good thing:)
i really love how... in the middle, you have that raw, pad sound... then the rhythm peeks through a little bit... then the drums come in, and there's just this beautiful hollow emptiness. you know what sounds good <3
pauls stretch is incredible, use it on anything and you immediately have an ambient track. I love the effect it has on hi-hats, it makes a really clean white noise fx sound. Beautiful sounds in this track btw. :)
