\nI liked this simple idea so much that I wanted to implement it in a track. To make something powerful, straightforward, in a sense even monotonous – like a train that goes on and on without stopping; but at the same time mysterious and atmospheric.<\/p>\n
Perhaps some people have already guessed. The phrases the dreams<\/span><\/i>, dream machine<\/span><\/i> and we can fly<\/span><\/i> from my track “A Train Into Darkness<\/u>”<\/a> are a direct reference to this book and a subtle hint that everything that happens in the track is also a dream:<\/p>\n That’s why the track is intentionally hypnotic and even a bit dreamy, that’s what I wanted to portray. However, it turned out that this track works well not only in dreams, but when you are awake too:<\/p>\n That’s how, unexpectedly, even for myself, a children’s book became the basis for a serious track.<\/p>\n The single “A Train Into Darkness” will be released next Monday, February 8, and is already available for pre-order on Beatport and presave on Spotify:<\/p>\n
