I was almost finished with this track last week when I had dental surgery, and I ended up making Cosmic Roar instead of finalising the mastering of this song.
Really simple song to make, I made my Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 play a random note from a set of four. I then set the delay to be pretty long, so the notes would bounce back and forth to create this complex melody. While it played, I dialed in the resonance and cutoff similar to how you would playing acid house, which greatly expanded the sounds coming from the box. There was just a kiss of resonance with a long tail, which creates this really cool backing synth/bass sound. In post I tried to compress the audio a bit just to bring the resonance up as much as I could, but it's still pretty deep in the mix. I then just animated the volume with keyframes to adjust the perceived loudness so it would have a relatively equal sound that would still expand and contract for your listening pleasure.
The video is just a few hundred photos I took on my Kodak Charmera this morning from 6:00-7:00 AM as the light began to come through the windows. I then made each photo 15 frames long, and created two additional layers of the photos and set their opacity to Screen. I then offset each layer 5 frames so that the photos would change once every 5 frames, but hold for 15 frames each. This created a cool animated triple exposure effect. I then rearranged and deleted a few photos that felt too bright or dark, and changed the timing slightly at the end so it would "fade out", and called it good.
