Ionic Pivot 01

Analog synth stabs create a constant drive of energy, while subtle reverse noises mark the cycles. The sounds blend easily and the bass is focused on the subs, design choices that make for a versatile pivot.

This pivot track follows a four-part cycle, beginning with a kick and ending with a minimalist riser. Each cycle is an opportunity to introduce a new BPM.

Each sound was recorded live and features constant micro-variations. Pivot around a single cycle or enjoy the subtle progression across the entire track.
