Most of the mixes happened in post production so it was quite easy. The synths weren't hard to master and mix, what difficult were the organic instruments, guitars and percussion. The percussions were especially difficult because most of them in low ranges. It was hard to keep everything in place without one drowning another. I recorded this instead of rendering, because my machine could never handle this much data. Took a dozen of different records to get it right.

Mixing was never a problem. Post production like FXs was the hardest part. Had to get the reverb and convolution right for most of them. LFO, distort, lofi, flanger, chorus, stereo, vocoder, delay, phaser... these were what given each sound their own voices. I went lazy with the guitars and applied Guitar Rig on all of them. The arps were auto FX with Movement, Replika XT, Form and Flesh. Form and Flesh are fucking amazing, because you could turn samples into magic. Movement did the rest justice on rhythmic glitches.

The main inspirations came from favorite artists. But also on the high of whatever going on around me, and in this world. The world has come to the end of human civilization. The height of total collapse on both survival and resource. We are not far from extinction. It was always a conscious hunch for it (as you said I'm a master of hunches). But this time it's real.

We are on the end of the ride, and it's beginning to happen. Ground Zero symbolizes everything that we have. If you listened throughout the track, it represents a lot of thing happened in our world. If you wish, I could explain more over Skype.

Some criticism of HOW would do?

of course, unless you pretend to know shit.
