Sketch 5

By lament.config on September 8, 2024 1:39 pm

My original idea for the week was something guitar driven.  Plug in the old Ibanez and try and make some sort of metal like drone.  Once I realised that wasn't going to work tried it with a guitar plugin but there was just too much noise I couldn't clean up. 
Then I watched Venus Theory's latest video and grabbed the Polyscape instrument he just released a made this.  Calling this one a sketch to come back to the idea later.

Maiden was awesome \m/

Made in Ableton

Awesome, glad it was a good concert!

Hadn't heard of Venus Theory before, went went looking. Damn, that's awesome. How much of this track is Polyscape, and how much processing did you do? Great atmosphere and variety of drones going on. (Also, downloaded!)

Thanks man.  3 of the tracks are the Polyscape, the clearest of it has no effects; the echo track is a different preset with one of Elphnts Max devices to widen it; the last track is the first duplicated but with a Spectral Plugins cassette plug in to mess it up some.  The drone and the percussion are a lot more processed.

I've got a lot of respect for what Venus Theory is doing, I really hope his plan works out for him

I'm not sure how you could define this as a sketch.

This definitely seems like a complete track. Strong Silent Hill vibes.

Suffocating.

Sounds menacing! Agree with hieroglitch that there's horror vibes and Silent Hill definitely fits that.

Oof that bass sound is bad ace! yikes it sounds like something is about to be infected, eep the wavy bits at the end so cool.  Well done! and yais Venus Theory is cool especially giving out sweet libraries and such.  inspiring vids smile

Man the sense of dread in this one is soooo palpable.  Those big percussive bass hits so good... very much gives me like Se7en vibes, like when they find a victim.
