Sleazy Neighbourhood Available On Most Streaming Services
I have always felt attracted to music that doesn’t or makes little use of musical instruments. Sleazy Neighbourhood might work well with certain film scenes, video games or theatre plays due to its atmospheric quality. Re-listening to it, I still enjoy its stereo-field approach. Overall, I think it is just very moody and atmospheric. I might do more of these atmospheric sound design type of music (if only people want to pay me for doing it of course).
For anyone who is interested: I wrote the original music somewhere in February of 2020. Later, at the end of that year, I changed an original, synthesized wind for a sampled based one. An improved mix produced the ending result. Only the piano – playing some major and diminished (seventh) chords – is used as a musical instrument. Other tracks are based on recordings (me doing all kinds of stuff) + people talking at Alexanderplatz, Berlin as well as several samples (a couple from eighties sample machines). This altogether made up for the final version.
Sleazy Neighbourhood is now available on almost all streaming services.
Thanks,
