Hiking Black Canyon National Park & Experimental Bass Music | Oak Flat Loop | Nature & Music 188

This track is inspired by Tripp St. and built around a couple of primary bass sounds interplaying with each other over a slower relatively basic hip hop type drum groove. There is definitely some dubstep influence, as well as some neurohop vibes, and also some cinematic feels with the strings and lush pad sounds. Writing this one really had me stretching into some new production territory and was a super inspiring process overall! I learned a lot and am stoking to implement more of said new knowledge in upcoming songs.

The locale is the Oak Flat Loop at Black Canyon National Park in western Colorado. With my first look at this massive chasm carved by the Gunnison River below, I was stunned at just how disorientingly steep and narrow the canyon walls are. It was honestly a little unsettling when looking at them as it just felt like nothing around the area was ever level. Also on this hike loop were rapidly changing shadows produced on the canyon wall faces by fast moving clouds. This of course added to the unbalanced sort of optical illusion, but these dynamic cloud shadows were definitely one of the main highlights for me on this trek!
