2FM033 Cyclic Underscores
Posted on Apr 20, 2018
2FM033 Cyclic Underscores is an album of minimalistic, cyclic tracks using tuned percussion, strings, piano and a variety of percussive instruments. Tracks build on a simple theme, developing with new sounds layering in colourful interplaying textures and motivational rhythms. From calm neutral beds (“Focus on Facts”) to uplifting, sparkling positivity (“Optimistic Future”), and childlike innocence (“Lullaby Waltz”) to light quizzical investigation (“Measuring Data”), each track gently suggests a single mood without overwhelming the accompanying picture. With documentaries, reality TV, news, short videos, infographics and corporate usage firmly in mind, this album will be useful for a broad range of applications. Tracks are all single-mood and mostly optimistic or neutral in nature, building in clean, gradual layers. All instruments were recorded live, ensuring the best possible quality of sound, and are available in stems. With a wide variety of versions per track and many loop points, all music can be adapted to meet the client’s precise specifications.
