Siren Calls

I had a IDM track completed and then deleted it all and started a cello ambient track for no good reason other than wanting more cello in the song. Lots of cello, a bit of Arp bass and lots of effects.

I like the glitchy cello - is that the arturia augmented strings plugin?

I have never heard of augmented strings but will take a look.  I have been learning the cello so it was me playing it myself. 

Nice one, is this running the cello through microscosm?  Still so jealous of that pedal, it looks like so much fun.  The bass from the arp is like a warm blanket, such a nice sound, I almost bought a used one a few weeks ago, probably a good idea I didn't, I would be lost and no time to learn it right now.  Maybe can revisit the IDM track for another week.

Wow the soundscape from the cello is so rich. And that bass is beautiful! The stabs sound so good too.
