Outsider

I'm a big fan of H.P.Lovecraft so in 2006 I made this track.

Outsider is one of H.P.Lovecrafts many short stories. In many ways it's typical of his style. A running commentary (in the first person) of a mans journey through a series of carefully described 'indescribable' events that ultimately end badly for him. The horror. The horror!

I quite enjoyed making this track using a freely available reading of the short story as a base (and inspiration). It's worthy of note that this is one of the first tracks where almost the entire drum beat track was constructed a single beat at a time (rather than from sampled loops). This was mainly because I wanted something a little odd and couldn't find any examples of it. if it's not obvious, I'm pretty happy with this one, even after all these years.

I like this, I think working on the drum track really paid off and gave it more atmosphere.
