Footsteps is a remix, but not the type one might expect. Arovane took Mike Lazarev‘s original track, added field recordings (footsteps, doves, voices at the market) and chopped up the notes to create something wholly original. The song’s melancholic tone is perfect [...] underlining the way in which sequencing can influence the interpretation of music. The avian section sounds like a dream or an elegy. The track ends on a swiftly rising electronic tone, cut off too early. We want more; thankfully, the artists hint that this may be just the beginning of a longer collaboration.
