OP-XY+ZOIA = mystree

By circuit_breaks on December 29, 2024 9:40 pm


It was a cold stormy night when she entered my office.  I had been reading the latest news, but was not prepared for the bombshell that she was about to drop onto my desk.  "I found your killer", she said with confidence.   I put my cigarette down and picked up the photo. The photo was of a man, middle aged and clean shaven.  I knew this man, for he was me.

I wrote the bones of this song one night shortly after getting my op-xy, and it immediately gave me detective vibes.  I spent some time this week fleshing it out, and added some delay and reverb using my new ZOIA fx pedal, which added some nice space to it.  Yes, I could have just used the delay and reverb that the op-xy provides, but I wanted to test the zoia with something fairly simple, and to be honest, it sounds way better than what the op-xy provides, mostly because there are so many more configurable options. 

I'm extremely happy with this tune, and am glad to present it as the final song for this year's weeklybeats.  I hope you enjoy!

Love the story and I feel it. It’s somewhere between Shadow Run on the SNES and… I want to say Dick Tracy, but that game is trash and couldn’t handle this haha.

I do enjoy this a lot. The deep bass gets in your bones. Detective vibes are spot on.

Happy New year?

Despite the season, this case is anything but cold.

STROOOONG detective energy in this one. I think you'll be able to crack the case! smile
