Release Facts #06: Wandering in the Dark

Although most of my material can be considered monotone, dark and harsh, I do like to use melodic elements & melodies from time to time (whenever I think it fits the mood of the track).

Wandering in the Dark was made in 2014 and actually originated as the second half of another (still unreleased) track, was finished in 2017 and released in 2020 on Ophidian’s Meta4 label.

The track’s title, was taken from the video game “The Witcher 3” – it’s the name of a playable mission. It just sounded badass and I really wanted to use it. The voice samples are from another video game as well – Mad Max (2015).

Additional fun fact: I used a short fragment of Madonna‘s song “Frozen”, edited it to make it unrecognizable and used it as a percussive loop in this track. It amuses me to do all sort of stuff as a reference (that nobody will ever notice besides myself, lol).
