The Focus

By 0F on February 9, 2014 7:36 am

Ran out of time this week due to various other musical projects, so I recorded this droney thing in a few hours. Everything in this track is acoustic. I used a 12-string acoustic guitar, an e-bow and a toy glockenspiel. There's a bit of reverb and distortion on parts of the mix, just to make it a bit more gritty.

Geez you need to run out of time more often, this is great! Reminds me I really need to get an ebow too.

Nice build, those ebows are versatile little gadgets.

Hmm, going to put this on in the dark, before going to sleep. Very nice submission! *fav*

Has a very cinematic feel to it.  Like I could see it opening for a movie during a very wintry morning.  The drone is mesmerizing and the guitar and glockenspiel move it in the right direction.  Well done.

Recently got a 12-string, I've got to try this...must buy ebow...sounds great.

Thanks! Yeah, my 12-string is rather cheap but sounds gorgeous. Harmonics and sympathetic vibrations all over the place!
