Forefathers is an ethnic electronic track I've made in 2012, to tell a special story. The idea came to me with the memory of the American native & their humble lifestyle. They had a way of life & culture, that was iconic and left many impressions through their generations. When they spoke of their family from past generations they would often speak of their Forefathers. Telling stories & tales to the younger generation of what their forefathers did, to pass knowledge & experiences on, keeping the tradition of the culture & their pride going. The saying to respect your elders stems from that, when knowledge & wisdom was only shared in such native ways. When an elder passes away, without sharing his knowledge, it would be considered a great loss for the tribe. And by remembering him, they perserved the wisdom. With their main priority to survive, to safeguard their offsprings & the well being of their tribes. Elders & forefathers were regarded with respect & reverence, pride of their tribe & great heritage. I thought it as very significant, their ways of living & historical story of our human culture. And wondered if I could tell it musically, a tale of how the Forefathers told their humbeling stories. A story of an elder telling a story... about their Forefathers... & passing it on the young. That's what made me start with this track on a very early sunday morning and I was in luck that everything came on naturally that day. & by evening after dinner did the final mixdown & it was finished. I captured the story. I did mastering several years later when I got better equipment. I picked instruments to give it a tribal vibe, together with electronic instruments that is reminiscent of the 90s eurostyle atmosphere that I liked & grew up on. The extended ambient mix came several months later.

The artwork is a depiction combining both vibes, the story telling of the Forefathers, and the calm of the night starry sky that suits the extended ambient mix.
