This started off as a challenge between a friend and I, to create a song that would suit a picture of a futuristic city within a 1 hour time limit. The picture included a highway with fast moving jet vehicles and that's the part that attracted my attention the most so I built the song around that idea. Starting off with the typical chord pad synth you hear in a lot of classic racing game soundtracks and slowly morphing into a faster pace with a harder beat.

After the challenge I decided to continue it but I had a lot of problems trying to extend it. Eventually I tried a whole bunch of different ideas that started to work their way into the bunch and before I knew it I had ambient, techno, jazz, dubstep, glitch etc. all worked into 1 track!

It's rather obscure but I think it turned out pretty well! I worked pretty hard to try and pull all these different styles together and I had a blast doing so! So I hope you enjoy it ^^

Try to picture a futuristic neon city where a high-speed jet street race is taking place. The drivers are reaching unbelievable speeds to the point where reality for them begins to shatter and the whole world around them is becoming distorted and static :D

Some of the atonal notes in the beginning confused me a little. I really liked it when it truly started, though. It's intense and fun... But I'm not sure if the wobble really belongs there. It felt a little strange. Still, definitely pretty good.

Fuckiin cool wubs xD What did you use for that? Massive or Sytrus or something else? Its really funny, some psychopated things going on in this song lol. Love the vocals too. It adds some more in this song.
Good work duttie!

Thank you! I used the malstrom synthesizer and scream 5 distortion unit, they're devices you'll find in reason xP and thanks again! I want to try something with some full vocals and lyrics soon hopefully xP you know, something other than "yeah!, oohhh yeah!" xP

Lol down below.

I am glad to be the first to comment on such an epic piece of work. . . You did this within an hour? You are amazing. Wow. . . Oh god. . . Just. . . Wow. . .

DuttonsaysHi responds:

No no! the first minute or so was created within 1 hour as part of the challenge which pretty much set the vibe and theme for the song. The rest was done after the hour challenge. Extending, mastering it and adding new segments took a few hours more xP. However, It was all created in less than a day. Still, thank you so much ^_^
