Whiteout by Nevel

A track with a message this time...

In this track I used a sample called 'Melodic Ice Creaks'.

For a lot of my tracks I've been inspired by nature (see my catalogue). It didn't take long to come up with the idea of making a track about a 'snow/ice' phonomenon... Whiteout...

As whiteout is a weather condition, Whiteout can also be interpreted as a metaphor for a future with no visible horizon... See it as a warning... We have to take care of our planet...

Whiteout is a weather condition in which the contours and landmarks in a snow-covered zone become almost indistinguishable. It could be also applied when visibility and contours are greatly reduced by sand. The horizon disappears from view while the sky and landscape appear featureless, leaving no points of visual reference by which to navigate; there is absence of shadows because the light arrives in equal measure from all possible directions. Whiteout has been defined as: "A condition of diffuse light when no shadows are cast, due to a continuous white cloud layer appearing to merge with the white snow surface. No surface irregularities of the snow are visible, but a dark object may be clearly seen. There is no visible horizon. A whiteout may be due simply to extremely heavy snowfall rates as seen in lake effect conditions, or to other factors such as diffuse lighting from overcast clouds, mist or fog, or a background of snow. A person traveling in a true whiteout is at significant risk of becoming completely disoriented and losing their way, even in familiar surroundings. Motorists typically have to stop their cars where they are, as the road is impossible to see.

This track is a collaboration between me (NEVEL) and DoctorD. I started with the fundamentals of the track, DoctorD added some instruments and in the end I came up with the refrain melody... All in all a very organic collaboration... We had fun!

NEVEL is a Belgian electronic project focussing on leftfield ,indie electronics, ambient and psychedelic dub.
