desert gem

By license on July 30, 2022 7:41 pm

mastered & (partly) mixed by ilzxc - thank you very much for your expertise.

pretty much all presets (rare for me!) - one slightly modified, one heavily modified.

the palouse is a damn blazin' desert right now, lemme tell ya
I'll be in my cave until it's not in the 80s anymore. fuck this weather. I got too much subcutaneous fat for this shit.

Listened to this one on repeat for nontrivial amounts of time without any traces of “getting sick of it.” Was humming the bass line earlier, too. ‘Tis a good tune. Take care of yourself with the heat…

thank you very much for taking the time on this. this slaps in a way that I couldn't have made it on my own.

I have been parked in front of the AC with the Hydrasynth all day and somehow this feels like the good life. I hope it's cooler in your town.

UHHH YEEEYA! This warms my cockles and works my jolliez in all the right subcutaneous wayz!

wheee

But it hasn't been the 80's for 40 years!
...Oh wait you meant-

Great usage of space in the intro. Crazy rhythms all around, feeling like alternatively like a crazy run or a drunken boxing kata. Quite an alien track. That was fun!

WOW. this is so good. you did a brilliant track. love everything here.

Solid job on the mastering, it sounds very nice on my closed back headphone.

The only benefit of Fahrenheit I know of is that you can sound dramatic about hot weather.

Thanks, but I want to stress all the magic is License—I just made it louder.

A gem indeed. Pretty chill for a desert track!

Awesome spacious intro, like the footage of the desert and the heat vapor in the distance.

then that BEAT DROP and throbbing bass.  makes me feel like i'm crawling towards that oasis....  hot track!

Yeah man.  Sounds great!  Excellent clarity between all the tones and super tasty bass.

It's true, it's a garbage measurement scale otherwise.

oh I love that imagery! I am curious what sounds alien in it to you - it is maybe a weird combination of stuff?

yeah ilzxc is being his kind, humble self, but he killed it. I may have set all the ingredients up, but this is the kind of track that needs the dynamics to really slap to pull it off and he sealed the deal.

thank you very much heart

Yeah this is HOT. music to have a hosepipe ban to heart

Good soundtrack for driving through desert, as I did last week, but also mountains, oceans and gorges, what a cool state WA is. But shit yeah, Hot up in here, and hotter every year yeah? I'll take that still suit ... this sounds like still suite jamz. Glad the rivers and lakes haven't dried up yet over here. Sound great, nice collab.

at my place, the hosepipe ban has been enforced out of sheer forgetfulness, so here's me high-fiving you with my empty, dry, non-hosepipe-holding palm!

thank you for the report - I didn't actually get a chance to road-test it. we didn't hit 115 like we did last year but it sure feels like the daily average is going up, doesn't it? it's still suit time for sure. keep those water bodies safe too - they are the real gems. thank you heart
