Tachyon burst

By laguna on September 4, 2016 11:23 pm

This week I change my style a little bit and bring you a small cosmic tune.

One single track with lots of automation. Just Meeblip and delay, nothing more.

I've been trying from back in '15 to turn these little Tangerine-esque sketches into some EP with a science fiction theme, so you could think of this one as "the scene inside the lonely inmense spaceship's engine room".

Quite nerdy, huh?

Next wednesday I'll hopefully be in the USA for a short week, discovering San Francisco. Still some final details to be fixed and finally vacation time!

Lots of catching up with your work and words, guys. Take care and have a great week !!!

Wow, that's a lot of mileage from one track! Thanks for posting the arrangement view.

That was very nice. And cosmic indeed.

Signals from deep space, indeed!  Well done! Totally digging the future/spacious quality of the slow modulations and reverb.  Seriously nice stuff--and those are some cool automation curves!

Enjoy your visit to the US!  (It's been a year since I've been in the Bay Area, and that was a very concentrated couple of trips during which I didn't get into the city.)  How long are you there? 

this is great!  great change of pace and i am loving those reverse blips

Thanks Maurice! The track was built mainly live and the automation is basically some low pass filter and delay action. I'm trying to convert some jam/loop recordings into more evolving pieces.

And about Frisco... I'll be there for 6 days. Guess it will be a lot of walking, and maybe one day to travel north to see a more natural enviroment smile

Thanks Jim. The whole action is basically slowly opening the filter and play with the delay. I think the reverb stays mostly static. Usually I send some delayed fx to the reverb so they interaact a little bit.

Thanks again for listening and your positive feedback! Cheers smile

I hope to give you a small berlin-school minispace trip soon in a short EP. Thanks very much, Q-Rosh!

I felt like alternating from my usual heavy beats, because I think I'm not the only one who feels he's repeating himself. Maybe some modular synth jamming will bring new ideas.

Thanks for dropping by and your always encouraging feedback, orangedrink!

I was thinking about trippy space engine rooms, but no suitable GIFs where found... Something like this

but in an engine wink

Very spacey, and very good!
I have never been able to make my meeblip sound this good.

Hope you'll have a nice vacation!

I found that if you use external filters on the meeblip, it somewhat shines. The delay gives it a lot more interest, because it could sometimes be a harsh synth

Thanks for listening and such positive vibes, Plaintrain!

as always, excellent work

nice and minimal, even without the delay (I imagine).

Well I think it wouldn't be me without tons of delay smile Some old trick to hide my really simple melodies

Love the sound quality of the synth as it changes throughout the track smile
