Machinefabriek – ‘Hikari’
“I’ve made this track two days after I received my little Hikari Monos synth; a small machine that produces gorgeous (and sometimes noisy) bleep bloop sounds. This track uses the first sounds I recorded with the device. It’s a bit of a mess, but the world we live in is a mess too. It’s not all devoid of hope though, so let’s keep pushing forward.”
