Can't stop downloading your tracks buddy!  What computer program/s did you use to make this?  The detuning is so crucial.  I feel like I can see outer space rippling...

The plucked guitar sound is an incredible sonic surprise.

The plucked guitar sound is an incredible sonic surprise.

thanks, glad you like it/them! I used FL Studio to sequence this using a crash sample with spiral stretch plugin on it among other processing, hihat, kick, and snare. kept it simple. then i added in some notes using randomized Phrygian scales in the key of G. for the 4 notated instruments i delved deep into my vst collection and used some older vsti I haven't used for a while: Sophia (batshit crazy synth/effect, weird pannings, noisy, bizarre; Devil Inside, a gnarly weird distortion instrument i think based on guitar but is also synthlike; DSK BassZ was probably the clean plucked sound that somehow made it to the surface, usually more buried in the mix; TAL Bassline produced the ARP2600-like thick bass drones, probably the most normal sounding thing on it.

yeah, I keep hearing different things each time... i wasn't sure how much i liked it but it might be a grower. i don't think i will add this one to my live set yet, but it's interesting. very dark and alien sounding, i think mostly because it is phrygian and you're right, detuning the whole thing made it sound like a whole other thing. I also used a vinyl emulator vst to give it more of a polished sheen.

I dig the weird harmonies and the claustrophobic feeling of imminent collapse from all directions.

Ah, the subtle tempo shift really pulls this together. Or rather.. unravels? Well done!

Nice work! Feels very kind of disorientating, in a good way. Definite grav-wave vibes!

Interesting piece. Noisy and unsettling.

Interesting piece. Noisy and unsettling.

I love the slow unwinding the piece towards the middle. And I really love how there is still sense of rhythmic cohesion behind the complexity. It's very well put together. So gorgeously gritty and alive. Marvellous.

it's weird, i would have recurring nightmares like that as a kid, like i was being crushed by everything into something smaller while it was growing outwards, weird abstract claustrophobic dreams.

thank you! yeah I do weird well, especially darker stuff.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((0)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

thanks! i was touching upon this style in 2014 Weekly Beats but kind of took 2015 off except for making an EP with Keith Moon beats. http://sitari.bandcamp.com

thank you! yeah, i was in the zone trying to make it sound like approaching an event horizon or something like that. i was focusing mainly on the beats and the overall sonics of the piece rather than the melody, but the melody took its own (disturbing) directions!

cool, i appreciate it! most of my style is noisy and unsettling usually. whether it's idm/electronica, metal, experimental music, etc.

wow, thank you Kevan! that was a really great mini review, I might have to lift that to my bandcamp page I think you guys have convinced me to give this a go live next week.
