I knew I wanted to start the track out with something ethereal, so I began by designing the pad. Next came the bass, kick, and snare. I added in the lead synth and then the saw, along with a few samples and structured out the track. For that one cinematic sounding sample, I just took a spacey crash and added gate with the rasselbock. There's also a crazy little screech in the middle which I made a while ago while I was messing around with a recording of a random synth. From then on it was just a matter of fine tuning. My current production laptop isn't doing so well which made this track especially difficult to produce with all the lagging, but I gave it a shot. This contest was super fun and I hope there's more in the future!
