Musical scales: Db Medieval Mixolydian and G# natural minor. The Medieval Mixolydian scale is rare now a days
Tempo: 105 BPM
Some remote inspiration from Globe Trotter by Jean Michel Jarre (bass and musical scale, even though that musical scale is Medieval Dorian)
Some sounds (that I recreated from scratch) are inspired from:
- Sounds in the latino mix (1990, Bruno Mylonas) of Calypso (Jean Michel Jarre)
- A drum and sound effect solo of Magnetic Fields Part 2 from Jean Michel Jarre's 1990 concert Paris La Defence
- The human melody sound from Zoolookologie (1984) and Ethnicolor I (1984) by Jean Michel Jarre
- Sound effects from Zoolookologie (1984) and Moon Machine (1986) by Jean Michel Jarre
- A pan flute sound from the music from the Amiga computer game Shadow of the Beast (1989) by David Whittaker
