"The Green Muse"

By Dastein on March 30, 2014 10:42 pm

Got little carried away this week but I was so lost in this piece I didn't realize it was going on 6 minutes. Whatever... I guess its prog then. HA!  I don't seem to have a style as every week seems to produce a completely different endeavor. This one however appeals to me in a John Hopkins and maybe a little trentmoeller kind of way. Thanks for listening. Enjoy.

6 minutes and a lot going on in subtle texture changes? Yes, I could feel that John Hopkins influence. Great asmosphere, the track never gets stalled and it's always evolving.

How did you do that "mosquito" synth line around the first half of the song?

Jon Hopkins, definitely. It kept putting me into this Cliff Martinez head space too. Very subtle and moody. I like it. A lot. Keep it up!

Filters, filters, filters... and then I filtered it dome more! I ran three different synth tracks each with different sets of filtered assigned to my controller and then I live passed them a few times. I had to force myself to stop and move on because of the fun factor of simply turning knobs to a beat. I then programmed and edited the drums and added the bass. The mix stage was a nightmare as it always is for me. Weekly Beats is helping by forcing me to mix a track every week. I hope it sounds that way. Thanks for listening and commenting guys.

I feel ya on the fun factor with the knobs.  Sometimes I find myself doing the same and adding sound after sound before I realize "Ok dats all!".  I got a bit of a Cliff Martinez vibe from this too.  Love the mosquito synthy sound throughout.  Nice job!

Magnificent
