Be Still, Comrade

By alonemusic on January 12, 2024 6:37 pm

This is a short little ditty to explore a Max plugin I had either purchased, or downloaded at some point in 2022 called Chiral. I think I liked the name because it reminded me of Death Stranding. It's nice, and automating sweeps and waveforms across it has a lovely fizz.

Weirdly I thought it would be good for making something quite minimal, but apparently I'm completely unable to write minimal things.

Very pleasant synthy soundscape, especially when the counterpoint melody in the background starts playing and that little sweep at :59 happens.
Also, I loved Death Stranding. haha.

Lovely heart

The panned percussion sounds playing off each other from :18 or so are so cool. This one went places I didn't expect but totally enjoyed. Love how lush everything gets around 1:30 too.

Love the drums! Very mellow and soothing piece. The bass also is very cool

Lovely

We can't let you get away with a song this good
It's so sweet and comforting and really puts me at ease
