New Hallucinations

this track is sort of a throw everything at the wall approach. it started with me having a moment and thinking, OH YEAH, I need to use my fretless guitar in a track! been meaning to all year. well, i did that and it became a big part of the track, but I didn't really end up focusing on the fretless abilities, as i just ran it through my very very psychedelic and potentially wall of noise or the smoothest ambience guitar pedal board.
I then added some rhythms to it, rather experimentally. using a vst called deja vu i was able to sort of beat match and warp the beat until i thought it matched better with the guitar playing. the beat is actually derived from some Kellii Scott drumming! but I tried to make it more portishead sounding.
after that I used a cassette deck into my pedalboard, and the cassette deck is form institutes for the blind and it has a lot of features. it gets really weird though when the batteries are getting low, as it is rechargable and still kinda works well, but the battery eventually fades after months, and well, something kind of weird would happen at times when i was flipping through modes, and running it through my guitar pedal board. i was able to conjure this very warm analog mid bass synth that you'll hear at times during this track. one of the pedals is the red panda particle pedal which makes things very interesting at times, chopping and warping things and sustaining, since i flipped through some modes while playing the tape deck basically.
then i added stereo hydrasynth track plus a vsti synth and everything sort of ended up tying together somehow, even though it sounds like a psychic hurricane apocalyptic shitstorm. to top it all off i even overdubbed a layer of some extreme remixing generated by Samplebrain. https://gitlab.com/then-try-this/samplebrain
i think this will also end up going on my weird post rock prog shoegaze album that i'll be working on all year. gotta come up with lyrics and vocals to add. thanks for listening and/or reading all this! i edited 13+ minutes to under 10 so that I could get at least 220 kbps for this.
