"I really liked the 'ka-chunk' sounds the ski lift makes as it goes over the uneven parts in the wires, kind of like the sounds trains make going over certain parts of the rails. I pulled one of these sounds out and built it into a longer, compound sound, then used it as one of the beats throughout the piece. 

"I also used a lower-volume version of the entire long sample from Seceda Mountain, capturing occasional ski lift noises, but more, the air in the mountains — you can barely hear the air, but you can easily imagine that crisp, snowy, high-altitude feeling, so perhaps it comes though subconsciously! 

"Otherwise, the other sounds were created with guitars and midi instruments, with a big influence of shoegaze and 80-90s shimmery etherial music."
