Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…

My final project required a vocal, so I made one up.
"lucid traum" is the vocal-less version of this song.

A song about reviewing the year behind and looking forward to the naughtiness of the year ahead.
