 Featuring: Antidote to Strychnine

 

Description: Chemical Process, is a fantastic blend of ambience and haunting vocals. It's the kind of album you would put on when you are chilling with a bottle of wine in a candlelit atmosphere, and hopefully someone to enjoy it with. Because you will want to spread the word once you've had the total chill out experience this album offers. Each of the 11 tracks has a personality from Fire in my heart where the emotion pumps out the speakers to the beat sounds from Dream of you (in colours).

• Antidote to Strychnine
               At some point in life we fall so in love with someone that you cannot even think of living without them, you want to spend every moment with them, share experiences and your lives together. That they will be your antidote to the bad things in life. An ambient lo-fi style track with a seventies funk / soul feel. 90bpm in Bb minor with female vocals.
  
  
• Dream of You (in colours)       This song is based on the book “Vurt” by Jeff Noon, where the main character (Scribble) is so obsessed by the love of his sister that he will give up his own life to save her. It has become his life quest to get her back into his arms. 140bpm in A minor this Ambient Electro stomper with a driving bass and drum track, female lead vocal.
  
  
• More Precious than Gold       Certain aspects of modern society put possessions higher in priority over life, the idea for this came about when I read an article that a person was killed for £20 and a few worthless possessions in their own home. Insanity is taking over. 140bpm Experimental Industrial Electro style track in D minor with computerised vocals
  
  
• Fire in my Heart (dreamsleep mix)       By being infatuated or obsessed with someone you long to be with them. You go out of your way to be near them or speak to them. But they don’t know that you exist. A slow triphop / electro style track with an industrial / funk / dub style lead synth, in A minor at 90 bpm with a breathy female lead vocal.
  
  
• (we are) Automated       Life tries to put people in boxes, some people seem to put themselves in boxes and resist anything that will force them out. Sit back sometime and watch them live like robots. A 140 bpm Techno / Electro track with ambient synths in A minor with a female lead vocal.
  
  
• Chemical Process
               Some people are trying too hard to change themselves and future generations to be this perfect human body through cosmetic surgery and genetic alterations, they just can’t accept who they are and what they look like. We will end up all looking the same - diversity is what makes us unique. A 140bpm Electro track in C minor using programmed sounds and a computerised vocal
  
  
• Shatter the Circles       You have just lost someone who was your life, your everything. Your whole body aches with pain, sobbing so much that your entire body is shaking with grief. The song came to me when remembering the agony of losing someone close, watching the tears drop into a pool of water and the circles being shattered by the next tear. A minimal ambient track at 100bpm in A minor.
  
  
• Thin Skin
               Everything that happens in life shapes who you are and even small things that happen in childhood can leave scars and doubts in adulthood. A melancholic track using unusual instruments in 3/4 time but based around a 4/4 pattern at 110bpm in F# minor with female vocals
  
  
• Torn Apart       Things happen for a reason, they can be completely out of your control. But they still shock you, even if you knew it was coming and tear your world apart. A funky disco/house style track at 115 bpm in A minor with ambient synths and female vocals.
  
  
• In my darkened room       This song is about living with depression. that you just want to hide away in the corner of a darkened room, not wanting to speak to anyone or be around anyone. A dark triphop style track at 90bpm in A minor with a heavy bass and weird synths.
  
  
• Cry no more Tears       When you realise that there is a better way to live your life. That you don’t need that person who doesn’t respect you, care about you or want you. You can make a new start without them and hold your head high with pride. A 100bpm Ambient Electronica track with a R&B/Hip Hop drumbeat in A Minor with female lead vocals.
