Years back we lost the chaseace.com domain because we neglected to pay a bill. The domain was squatted by a porn site, we won it back, but still to this date the domain remains blocked in some corporate porn filters and firewalls.

December 15th: More Chase Ace Music

by Comment

Today’s Media Gift

Today, we’re not giving you a picture, but a preview of another one of the potential tracks for Chase Ace. The track is “The Rookie” again by talented musician and sound designer Rasmus Hartvig Boye.

Listen to it loud and with headphones!

This is another variation on the eclecticism we strive for in the Chase Ace soundtrack. It plays with both middle-eastern influences and blues, on top of a richly textured electronic groove. The explosive taiko drums make another appearance to complete the sense of a global melting pot of music styles.

The name “Chase Ace” was inspired by “Ident” – a weird claymation short film by Aardman Animation. The main character in the film repeats incomprehensible words that we chose to interpret as … Chase Ace… (2:32)
