This two-minute excerpt is from a 16-minute track created for an artist’s Christmas-themed performances. Beyond the holiday atmosphere, the music needed to convey S/M undertones and be dynamic enough to inspire movement.
I started by experimenting with the notes of Jingle Bells, which soon inspired the basslines. The rhythm is relaxed yet driving, gradually revealing intricate details and structure. Tribal and ancient elements add a suggestive, teasing mystery that remains just out of reach.
The music supports the stage without overpowering it.
