Inspired by Disney's Classic TRON and early VR , this track imagines a world inside machines where relics of that environment are tired and forgotten. This piece is the lament of the Parity Bit Overlord, a noble but lonely role in the digital world inside our computers.
The track uses some generative systems, as well as a loose framework based on binary and hexadecimal values in order to infer certain rythms, melodies, and tonal arrangements.
BONUS: The longer, ambient version (from the FRACT beta) is included in the download.
