ANIMA | MMP1

Concept: „ANIMA“ derived from the latin word „anima“, which is commonly used to describe „Soul“, „Spirit“ or „Air“/ „Breeze“ if taken in a more literal way, is a Music-EP consisting of a total of four tracks. It draws influences from various different aspects of the Techno-genre and relies on sinister sound design, nihilistic vocals as well as heavy distortion. The composition types used range from highly melodic and harmonic arrangements to heavily distorted vocals. My aim was to create an EP that could be played at nightclub DJ gigs, as well as to boost my experience in processing more complex vocal arrangements and post-processing in general. I used the program AbletonLive 11 Suite for arrangement and mixing and LogicProX for mastering. The mixing process proved extremely tedious and even though I know the end result is by no means perfect, I still am very proud of what I accomplished on my own.

The musical introduction to the EP, setting the pace at 150 beats per minute. It includes a recorded TD-3 characteristic acid bassline as well as multiple instances of heavily distorted vocals done by myself.
