Artist picture
2600Hz makes electronic grooves and ambient experiments. No telephone companies are hijacked during the making of these tracks.
Someone once told me, "Music is meant to go somewhere, not to just be." What a sad, lost soul. This kind of music is all about just being. Initially, 2600 Hz set out to produce ambient music. This is seen in the song Space Ages. But when ideas hit the recorder, the stuff that comes out are more of the chilled groove sort. Perhaps this diversity will continue to show through as I progress as a musician.

Story behind the song
I immediately fell in love with the "Moon Ray" patch on the Sytrus VSTi instrument as I pounded a few notes on the keyboard, as what came out was essentially what you hear. I scrambled to capture the musical idea and then add a little bit of complementing textures and "tubs of water" percussion and a really subtle hip hop groove. Then in the bridge I sought out to find a lead synth sound that sounded like it was literally singing to us, as in like a human vocal, and I found an almost perfect patch in the UgoAudio.com Rez 1.3 VSTi instrument to play the role. At this point the song was a little over a minute long and I literally sat on it for well over a year and a half trying to think of new directions to go with it before I finally decided to just throw in "more of the same" and enjoy the satisfaction of calling it done even though it didn't have nearly as much meat as I wanted to add.
