I like to participate in producer competitions because it gives me a set of parameters to work within and a deadline. This helps unlock my creativity and reduce the overthinking that leads me around in circles. The challenge for this piece was to compose a track completely out of samples. The only parts I was allowed to synthesize were the sub-bass and the vocals. I took the opportunity to experiment with vocoder for the first time, and I really liked the results. The name is a reference to sine waves, the building block of sub-bass sounds.

The artwork is a 1/1 piece by Ron Anton-Erik. “My inspiration was to play around with the media (oil sticks, wax, and oil pastels) to create something with interesting textural layers. The color scheme evolved over many iterations and once I hit on the blues and magentas I knew I was moving in a good direction.”
