A fairly minimal track; ‘Keeping Txme’ focuses on a looping sequencer which drives a collection of synthesisers. The piece develops by changing and replacing the sound design of the synthesisers, whilst maintaining it’s melodic structure.
This track also demonstrates another trait of sequencing; the ability to create a ratcheting effect by playing the same note multiple times in its space within the sequence. This adds a rhythmic element to the melody that keeps the listener intrigued.
Gold Panda mixes dance music with eastern traditional instrumentation. On Time Eater Eastern Strings provide interweaving melodies backed up by strong electronic percussion. As the track evolves more sampled elements are added and washed in thick reverbs to create lush pad sounds that add to the sonic pallet of the track.
It’s the pallet of sounds used on Time Eater that are the highlight of the track, organic and electric textures complement each other perfectly creating a fresh and exiting piece of music:
