Day Turns To Night is a track I did about 2 years ago. I was inspired by a few things when doing this, namely the way I was feeling at that time. I was still living in my home town of Crewe but knew I wasn’t comfortable there and needed to change my direction in life and so the foundations of moving to Manchester were very much in the for-front of my head.

The way I made this piece was predominantly made by using the Vestax Controller One turntable which has the ability to play pitches and scales like a traditional instrument (I will go more into that as i build the site up with various information) and a delay pedal so I can sustain notes, chords and tones.

This was made just after I had got the turntable and I was learning (scratching the surface) this brand new instrument. It’s quite funny as I was not going to add sketches like this to my site as I feel I have progressed in leaps and bounds with the turntable since I did this, but, I’m starting to think you have to be humble and show the origins of were you have come from with your art. Something I was quite shy about doing in the past.

So anyway, I hope you can chill back and let it take you to wherever you want to go.
