Borax Chain Inhibitor

By Cosmic Cairns on May 18, 2022 10:28 pm

An instrumental this week in which I wanted to try playing around with a couple of harsher textures than normal.  Just wanted to switch things up a bit. Also felt like I needed a little more distortion in my life this week.  The title doesn't really mean anything but I thought it sounded cool and sort of pseudo high-tech industrial or something.  If such a thing were to exist this is what I imagine it would sound like.

You went for a dystopian scenery in the first half of the track. The soundquality was awesomely executed. The punkish guitar which follows, has lots of energy. The electric hum in the end is pure music in my ears.
If a borax chain inhibitor exists, it will be no good for the health of the people. Have a nice week.

I like how the track starts very aggressively but around 0:40, we're left with the aftermath, brooding dark clouds. And then we go back into a violent scene with the guitar layers and other saturation effects. I like the noisy post apocalyptic vibe of this track!

Thanks!  I've always liked the electric hum sounds that arise from feedback or just leaving a cable plugged in or whatever.  I couldn't resist letting it run for s little while at the end.

Thanks!  I thought the broody ambient-ish section would make a nice contrast to the noisier parts.   Or at least I hoped so!

I'm pretty sure without a borax chain inhibitor, you're looking at some serious rebuild charges when your dynolux pylon drive hits 100,000 parsecs. The intro sounds are beyond distortion! If they made a foot pedal for that, it would be called "molecular eradication" Cool mix of sounds.  The guitars at the halfway point are awesome all on their own. One of my favs!

First listen felt like a collage, until 3:05 where the intro distortioncopters got back overhead and everything made sense.
Second listen: seriously loving the drop-like plucks (enter around 1:19); really like the guitar section, and kudos for a kinda-unresolved (but satisfying) exit out of it.
The ending noise is beautiful.

You definitely want to keep an eye on that parsec meter because your reflexive crankshaft capacitor could overheat and then you'd really be screwed.  Unless, of course, you've got a borax chain inhibitor handy.  Thanks for listening!  It's fun to eradicate a few molecules once in a while.

It felt important to me to bring back the opening noise as I did feel it helped tie everything together.  There are kind of two drop-like noises happening there that I thought complemented each other pretty well.  One is a synth and the other I'm just hitting some harmonics on the guitar.  I liked the idea that at the end the whole thing just kind of expended its energy or something and ran out of steam.  Thanks for listening!


digging the distortion smile

Yes yes! Gotta have distortion, that sounded awesome. This is totally the sounds of the BCI. I like how this has some very different parts and changes. A bit of a story unfolding. Love when the guitar comes back halfway, anthemic!

Awesome dark brooding sound throughout this track.  The guitars sound really good when they make their entrance.  Sweet bits o distortion.  Nice work!!

It was a distortion kind of week.

I wasn't sure even I could take a full track of the harshest sounds on here.  I thought some contrasts would probably be a good idea.

Thanks!  It is weirdly fun to get a little dark and brooding at times.

I love those guitars! Man, this is wicked!
