I started this track earlier this morning and put a lot of hard work into it, it has the feel and vibe of the Borderlands games which is a big source of inspiration for me in general, always going for that dark and brooding, bad-ass chugging along feel that could accompany the visuals that have stuck in my mind from the games universe.

The track name is a reference to T.K Baha, one of, if not my favourite character from the series, "You're not a Skag, are ya? Good, I only shoot Skags... Well, mostly anyways."

Im proud of a lot of the sounds in this track, I've gotten a lot better at having ideas for synth sounds in my head and not having to over-complicate things to be able to attain a sound close to what I had imagined, I've also gotten better at making soundscape fx by creating synths and re-routing to record the audio to other tracks to manipulate.

There are a lot of bit crushed elements to this track, such as the grindy lead in the first half of the song at 1:03 which I really like, two layers of reduxed leads which combine to get this oddly distant but present sound that I really liked.

The percussion in this track is all fairly tribal, with some really electronic sounding toms but also some more organic sounding conga sounds that were slightly pushed through reduxes to dusty up the sound a bit.

The bass sounds in this one were pretty hard to work with, having made all the sounds from scratch there's a lot of room for error where I may miss basic ways to attain a cleaner sound, but I actually like the grungy-ness of the basses, along with the brass-like swell that was originally made out of a bass sound.

The later, heavier groove of the song is where the sounds get a bit mental, throughout the song there are a lot of background effects like the washy white noises that have stuttered tremolo sounds and the blip arpeggios that I really like the harmony of, then a synth comes in at 2:35 that is a lead sound I created, sent through reverb filters and played really low and it creates this wild helicopter like sound which is covered in dusty white noise, shortly followed by another version of itself playing much higher which creates the metallic and grindy sounding lift that comes in shortly after at 2:35 in the background, I love these sounds and enjoyed the experimentation it took to make them.

There's lots of subtle, industrial sounding background noises, some of which are products of the basses breaking and cracking in musically relevant places which I really like.

Overall I adore this track and had so much fun making it, now I'm very tired as I upload this, so for now, I'm out.

Hope you enjoy - <3
