Space Cowboy

By Kedbreak136 on March 15, 2020 1:56 am

I have been catching up on watching The Mandalorian and I like the mix of Sergio Leone westerns and space fantasy.

This week I wanted to do the bastard child of western movie soundtrack borrowing elements of Ennio Morricone and mixing them with more sci-fi/EDM elements. Fake guitar with tremolo and reverb, vibraslap, gunshots. Windy desert. Of course I ended up reusing my team of mariachis from last week - I think I've taken a liking to them.

Done on FL Studio, with some 909 beats and Sytrus synth.

Feels like a sci-fi western stand-off build up that ends in a gigantic shoot out and I love it.

Question: What is that bass sound you use in the intro? Has a great driving feeling to it.

Thanks a lot - I was going for that vibe. smile

The build up bass is from Sytrus synth in FL Studio - I used an arpeggiator called "action". It's pretty cool and gives great result for little effort.

Mmm s'ketti

Vraiment chouette! Getting the western influences definitely, and a penchant for synthwave on the EDM/Sci-fi side, good idea to mix both! big_smile the vibraslap is just the perfect addition big_smile

Merci! Le monde a besoin de plus de vibraslaps! (et de PQ...)

Hahahaha oui! Sans quoi il faudrait bien que quelqu'un invente les trois coquillages de Demolition Man!

Oooh, I like the western/synth mix.

Thank you!

Really Dig this track, nice work!!!

Ooh ... deffo has that Morricone-vibe to it. But because of the electronics it reminds me very much of the Drive-soundtrack. Which is a huge compliment, cause it is extremely awesome! As is this track smile
Kudos!!!!!

Thanks a lot - I really appreciate the comment! I'll check the Drive soundtrack!

Dig the mix in the first half.  Captures the vibe nicely.  The trumpet tone is my pick for the second halp. smile
