My first new release of 2025!
Take Me Away is an ambient piece, filled with evolving melodies and rhythms. This song emerged as I explored making more sophisticated the use of some instruments, and of Bitwig's clip and instrument selectors.
The track surprisingly came together quickly as these experiments built on top of each other... mind you it's not the song I am supposed to be working on, but it's the one that crossed the finish line first. I hope you enjoy.

Please like and subscribe, as it really does help my music reach more people!
I am an Australian living in Seattle, I am a coffee geek, and I enjoy making mostly ambient and Berlin School inspired music, with the occasional Synthwave track.

# Process Notes
For this, I tried a new (to me) approach of creating the different clips and scenes for the different sections. Then I recorded the clips being played live - I manually triggered scene and clip changes, which added to the subtle variations as each clip had a different length before moving over to the newly selected one.
I think went through and manually triggered Transit 2 to help with some of the scene transitions.
