The EP ‘Follow Me / Maya’ is a two-track house music journey inspired by the soundscape and atmosphere of the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway. Both tracks are upbeat and energetic, sharing vast reverbs, echoed vocals, and sax melodies.
Follow Me
‘Follow Me’ takes place in a valley between two mountain ranges. It blends distorted electric piano chords and a weaving pad, creating an open, spacious soundscape where the vocals and the sax take centre stage. The track builds up, sustained by a grooving, bouncing bassline filling the space between syncopated drums. Gritty synths add character to the song, delivering some raw ´90 feelings.
Maya
“Maya” dances over relentless drum beats and elastic basslines. Ethereal vocals and evocative pads create a peculiar atmosphere that draws the listener into the music. Sax melodies and synth chords build positive and euphoric vibes, delivering a dynamic and danceable song. The track maintains high tension through unexpected changes in harmony and bassline as it approaches the end.
Both tracks are written using analogue hardware. Elektron Analog Rytm drums are enhanced with external effect processors. A Moog Minitaur delivers that signature, deep, full-bodied bass. Synthesizer textures come from Elektron Analog Four and OB-6. Fairfield Circuitry and Eventide pedals add the final layers, enriching the soundscape. Elysia 500 modules play a crucial role in the mix and master bus, connecting all elements seamlessly.
