preparing for my coming set at Echoraum Vienna, intro

All the sounds in this are from the old Amiga ST-xx samples discs, some a bit too much Supermassive.

This one came together in a couple quick tracking sessions with the PureSalem Mendiola. Notably some parts in tracking just seemed to stretch on for a while, as ideas kept appearing. There's a middle section that is a bit more in the direction of the spacious thing I'd been thinking of.

No inline effects, but some convolution reverb send and the usual compression/eq on the stereo out.

The title comes from Newtown, near the A590.

This track was an exercise on doing beach music, inspired by a youtube video by 8bit music. So it's very bossa nova inspired, and I had to dig deep into marimba, flutes, steel drums, etc. And yet I could not really make it sound like beach music.
It's the "goths hiding in the shadows while at the beach music", as it just cannot fully leave the slightly nostalgic territory. But that was a fun exercise all the same.
