Bitter Lake

This week I treated myself to a new synth, after watching lots of videos, and my workmate showing me Absynth, I couldn't resist.
I also wanted to try and write something a bit out of my wheelhouse, so inspired by HEALTH and my old favourite NIN, thought I'd try a bit of the ol' industrial metal.
Very fun, its all drop C# and the chugging on open strings is all there. Absynth through distortion makes up much of the rest, with the NES and Game Boy providing a bit more texture and keep me somewhat grounded in what I like.
Mixing heavy guitars tho? hard! I also went back and did a slighty shorter version as on re-listening it felt a bit saggy. Anyway.. Enjoy x
Edit: I shortened it again! I also had feedback that I used Goldeneye-esque noises. I didn't mean to do this, but I'm very here for 1997 N64 vibes.
