Hi Felix, Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it.
I think dissonance with sweet sounds is a combination I might use more. For a start you can hear the dissonance without it turning into a mush, which is easy with distorted sounds and also the combination sounds less cliched. Dissonance with a dark bass often sounds too obviously evil and mellow arpeggios with sweet sounds is equally overdone. With a jazzy feel you can get away with sweet dissonance without it sounding wrong and create an dark atmosphere without it sounding tired. I remember Chance commenting on one of my live tracks saying it sounded good, but he wanted a subversive element. I think I know what he means now. The track sounded like a funk band playing funk, wheras it should have been a funk band playing something else.
