"Cold Clear Winter Day"

Nowhere Near
Streaming downtempo drumstep ambient/chill-out nujazz

Nowhere Near having a moment on a cold clear winter day...

This tune was inspired by a conversation Zig (Hive account@onemedia) had on his 'radio' podcast, 'Spotlight On The Artist' with D-Vine (Hive account@d-vine) and their guest at that time, Nicky Havey (Hive account@nickyhavey), about how the electronic music style of Drum-and-Bass when played at half tempo is called 'drumstep' and here also represents a Nujazz sound Zig and Nowhere Near thrives in.

Here you have a bunch of percussion instruments playing to the 'boom bap' kick drum and snare alternating Break pattern of '1,2, AND 4' often sampled and altered from the legendary 'Amen Break' but here no samples were used other than those intrinsic to the Korg T1 sound generation. Here you'll also get a sense of hardstep from the intermodulated sub bass. Zig's custom chiptune box, the SIDnth can be heard keeping straight sixteenths in its noise and ring-modulated loop as eighth notes at a native 173 beats per minute suitable for Drum-and-Bass or here as sixteenth notes at 86.5 beats per minute... Then there's the swing shuffle feel throughout ...

Also an influence to this tune was another conversation during the same show with Jeff Leinwand (Hive account@jeffleinwand) about thematic development 'call-and-response' which in this rather polyphonic head arrangement, you'll hear a number of examples. Finally a shout out to Termite (Hive account@termitemusic) for his show 'Know What I Mean' where Zig's hanging, jamming, and all-around stretchin' out to downtempo Trip Hop is de rigueur.
