Underwater Quest
MICROMECHA
"Underwater Quest" is the second entry in the "PSX Breaks" series, an ongoing group of records that I'm working on. The series is inspired by the sound of 90s/Y2K atmospheric drum and bass, ambient jungle, early liquid dnb, Playstation 1-2 music, and fictional video game soundtracks.
I like to imagine this album as the OST of a 3D, low poly, third-person PS1 game in which you have been assigned to a repair mission at the bottom of the ocean. In this game you would have to pilot your mecha through a sequence of underwater levels, submerged scenarios and aquatic phenomena. Inside the mecha, you would swim, dive, explore and be captured by the natural wonders of the deep sea, as well as by its dangers and perils. Living beings and their habitats will be your friends there, but a leak in a secret pipeline has produced some kind of toxic pollution in the near-by area, altering the structure of the environment and genetically modifing some aggressive predators of the depths.
Following some unrestrained subaqueous explosions, it may also happen to bump into electrocuted maintenance and defense submarine robots, originally designed by the government itself to protect their classified operation, that are going crazy and decided that you are an enemy and an intruder.
_______________________________________________________
The production of the album is mainly centered around textures, one-shots and breaks coming from 90s sample CDs, together with selected samples, chops, melodic flips and aethereal manipulations of PSX soundtracks.
Best enjoyed swimming, diving or near some clean natural body of water in general, but also just having a bath or taking a shower.
I want you all to know, as always, that I'm really grateful for your support, and that I'm working hard to become good enough for all of this,
I really hope you like this record,
Much Love <3
