Creeping Mire

Creeping through the mire. Observing the decay as we prepare for the winter ahead. Some sludgy sounds for passing through and discovering what awaits as the veil between the living and the dead thins.
I keep hearing about excitement that creepy season is here. And all the other names for it. The more I hear it, the more its coloring my views of the decay and seasonal change around me. Is there something spooky and creepy about the season? I don't watch very much horror entertainment like so many people I know do. Sticks in my brain too much. But the creepy vibes and this thinning of the veil time is a fun way to transition the seasons and our minds for what's ahead. What is ahead? I hope it's good. Stay safe out there!

Started going this direction in response to this weeks Disquiet Junto prompt: "We’ve hit a devilish numerical milestone. Do your thing."
Like last week, always nice to have a prompt to get things moving, and fun to try something new. And this is style I don't normally do, but I probably have one or two kind of like this each WB year. Fun to make and get out of the system.
I started playing around with a sample guitar device, added the stock Ableton "Jimi Feedback" with Amp distortion and some other devices in the chain. Played some drum parts in on pads, then later added some live drums. I don't love the live drums, but it was fun, adds some flavor. This is in 6/4, and some parts don't really go with the bars and grid at all, which was also fun. Found a werid vocal sample after searching the sample folder, and put that in my recent favorite devices: PitchLoop89 and Granulator 3. Nice "hold" function to keep sound going. Some Meld bass.
A little rushed to finish and it shows in some ways, but had fun rocking out in a different way here.
