Creative Sound: CyberPunk/Digital Hardcore

Cyberpunk and the idea of what a possible future will be like has been a strong part of society since 1960s and even before. Books like Neuromancer set a presuppose for the aesthetics of what the future would be. As well as films like THX-1138 created milestones in terms of sound design in films and bringing the future to reality that paradoxically manifests itself through the consumption of its depictions. 

Digital hardcore came around in the 90s and felt like a sonic extension of the overall cyberpunk aesthetics coming both the cyber and the punk aspects into one homogenous entity. My goal with my track was to reference digital hardcore but add a modern edge with the technology available to me because of Ableton.
