I've always been fascinated by the TV show "How It's Made". I was immediately hooked by the process, but I also loved its unique background music. Though the show ended in 2019, I still find myself re-watching episodes (very often).
This track is my tribute to that feeling—a straightforward, ambient electronic piece with a solid kick, perfect for heavy-duty work or just getting into that creative, industrial mindset. Originally released in 2020 as part of the "Spirala elektronska" (en. Electronic Spiral) EP, this track has been remastered and is being re-issued in 2025 to ensure it remains online.
