Deep rising

By laguna on August 17, 2014 11:32 pm

This week I've arrived really tired from work everyday. Did this simple one last saturday night in about three hours, and since I was on duty on sunday also, there weren't any moments left for nothing more than a few EQs and compression adjustments here and there.

Extremely simple: Ableton Live for the Drum Rack beat, iOS VyrSyn Tera for the submarine pad and the FX.

Three tracks and three sends total. Pad and weird FXs recorded through my thrift store Danelectro delay and Zoom Studio 1205 reverb... not exactly high end equipment. Synths tweaked and played by hand in three takes. My usual mastering chain without any special taste this time in the evening.

I tried to make it more complicated, but for now let's say this is an imaginary soundtrack for an animated series of an Earth where the poles melted and everything is underwater. Submarines, miles-deep cities, nuclear warhead torpedoes... and radioactive monsters, of course smile

Hope you enjoy. Will try harder next week, I promise.

Seeing the monsters, man! Bioshock, much?  Keep up the good work!

On the bright side, with the worst global warming projections, the seas will only rise between 6-20 inches by 2100.  Most arctic ice already displaces water equal to its mass with exceptions of places like Greenland. The average Antarctic temperature is about -38C, so it would have to rise quite a lot before we would need to be concerned about ice melt.

Drought and more land becoming barren are a much bigger concern with global climate change than is flooding.  Drought makes agriculture much harder and of course we all need fresh water.

Anyway, cool tune.  If there ever were a global flood, I hope you can get your gear onto your Waterworld boat.

This makes me feel so much better.

Oh, and nicely-evocative piece!

Hey guys thank you for listening and giving some time to this one. I've been doing some heavy training at work and almost had zero time for WB.

Sorry for the late reply. Knowing that you're all out there listening and releasing fantastic stuff keeps me pushing week after week smile

Hey Edmund. SOrry for the late reply. It's been really crazy this week. Believe me smile

I'll try to recruit Kevin Costner so we went diving in search for some sunk Juno 106s and TB 303s smile

love the drum kit and the almost tubish percussive sound to it. I'd def watch SubEarth smile
