Curious Stories for Hollow Vessels

By alonemusic on April 3, 2022 4:34 pm

This week I had the blessing of 'time' due to being on leave and being able to actually relax for a bit. This meant I finished a bunch of tasks then bought myself Elden ring. Oops.

Anyway.. I did make time for the beats that are weekly. I messed around a lot with the intro loop, chopping reversing little bits and layers of acoustic guitar, which kinda got stuck in my head. The second 'half' came about after I found Ableton was adding a load of latency to guitars (and yeah, I'd not noticed this for the last 12 weeks...) so I enjoyed trying to fix that... This resulted in some traditional 'go big' styles.

Also, wow, another quarter down! A row is full! Congrats all.

Really digging your melody over the driving ostinato. Nice spacious transition in the middle. Definitely an epic journey!

spacey! and kinda 80s vapory?

I have been thinking of how to make those big sounding epic moments in songs, haven't really done that much and this track does it quite well, esp in beginning and end - the more quiet middle part is very good for creating the storytelling feel! Altho not my typical style I like it!

Not sure if the title is in any way related to hollow knight, but I don't care, I can't believe this has acoustic guitars in it

chip sounds on more conventional/orchestral arrangements can be a bit played out, but it works really well here.  the reverb/eq on the chippy bits make them particularly bite through.  very satisfying expansion in the last sections

Great composition between the synths. I think it’s the beat that really makes the whole thing gel. Very interesting tom and kick rich beat - the fact that you don’t use hihats or crashes (as far as I could hear) leaves a lot of space for the synth. Epic and cinematic, this was a wonderful journey.
