"I saw death rising from the earth, from the ground itself, in one blue field, in stubbled color." - Philip K. Dick

This one was played live with the OP1-F Digital synth through CWO and Terminal effects. Audio out over USB to the Dirtywave M8, which added chorus, delay, reverb and compression. M8 into TX-6, which added more compression and more reverb, and acted as the audio interface for recording into Logic. After a couple of takes I got something that felt pretty interesting.
Then I recorded two more layers with a plugin called Random. It's a strange instrument that makes very unique sounds. It's hard to make it do anything consistently, but it's fun to generate some samples if you need weird fluttering alien feedback sounds. For these extra layers I used the OP1-F as a midi keyboard, while at the same time messing around in the parameters of the plugin with my mouse. Of course had to add a bit of reverb on top (Fabfilter Pro-R), because ambient.
On the master bus I added more reverb (Fors Sala) and some basic EQ, compression and tape saturation and that's about it.
Oh, I like this. Very good drone. Love the distortion in this. Have you by chance seen the recent film Sirat? I didn't think it was a particularly strong film. But the sounds track by Kangding Ray is a kind of drone, ambient, distorted techno that this tracks reminds me off a little. The Sirat OST is available on bandcamp, or youtube if you want to check it out. You may like it.

I love me some ambient. The drone is indeed excellent. So much texture. Also really interesting contrast with the other music you usually share. I guess it does have something gnarly or gritty in common with each other (and I am all for it). I favourited this one.

Whoah man. Deep and dark, this one. Great collection of drones here, I keep feeling like I'm hearing bell overtones (acting very unlike bells in the time domain). Would love an extended version of this someday.

I think there's something primal about extremely pitched down, bowing and vocals.
Sounds like the voices of creatures larger than we've ever seen but somehow deep in our ancestral memories we know what it's like to hear the call of a giant.
This is epic.

Very foreboding, but discrete enough for soundtrack purposes. All kinds of dark imagery comes to mind listening to this... And then it turns kinda warm and calm towards the end?? Super cool.
Also really appreciate the crunch on everything, gives it a gritty, rusty patina.
