notes
A hazy, reverb-drenched pad and a soft pulsing bass give the track its dreamy, filmic wash beneath the reverbed drums. Nothing here is a sharp lead, it is atmosphere first. Patch specifics are inferred from the record's texture, no official gear sheet exists. Instrument choice is approximated from Max Martin/Shellback/Ilya's well documented MXM studio workflow of this era (widely reported in trade-press interviews): built around Access Virus TI and Roland Juno/Jupiter analogue-modelled synths tracked through Cubase, not a documented per-song patch sheet.
