Consensus of the Void

By Napear on December 1, 2024 7:54 am

So I'm kinda feelin' the ambient soundscape type thing... probably gonna do a few more to close out the year... but I decided to try something different with this one.  Normally for these, get a good pad or granular texture type patch going and then just close my eyes and play... and repeat that with new elements until I fill up the spectrum (or am fully entranced by the piece).  But, with this one, I decided to plan out the structure and harmony first, then orchestrated it with various weird soundscapy things.  I'm not sure if I like it yet... still too fresh in my ears... but I guess we'll see over the next week.  At any rate, it was a good excuse to spend some more time exploring the new stuff from Komplete 15.  So far I'm digging all the new instruments.

I'm hoping to (finally) get caught up on listening, commenting and replying.  Going through all the trainings and documentation and things for my new job has been sapping a lot of my reading and writing energies... but that's all starting to settle down now into much more "normal" routine type things... so hopefully I will have the energy to engage with all the WB hommies more for the last month of the year... crazy... 4 more weeks ya'll... all... most... there!!

Oh that was a good track. I like how subtly the scintillating pads ebb and flow. There are some whale like wails also in the back. And i also liked how you bring a sense of rhythm with the low arp like bass in the back, which is subtle and just works well. Loved that one. A little magic vibe.

That was great, I think the experiment worked quite well.  At times it seemed to get right to the edge of what could be typically called ambient but I think that was also the appeal.  I loved how the pulsing rhythm throughout was panned so hard left and right, went from the feel of a heartbeat to maybe one of a timepiece.  Really nice track

magic is right, this really transported me. love the melodic movement, the sound design, the panned clicky percussion, the chords shifting like tectonic plates in a time-lapse. 4 more, ahhhhhhh!!
