Atimbia
By onezero on Yesterday 3:05 pm
As an experiment this week, I recorded some sections with a click, others actively ignoring the click, and then turning the click off. This took two sessions early in the week, and on the second night I found myself wanting to play in different meters at different tempi. As a result, the perceptual tempo and the meter will change with different sections, though I think the arrangement of the sections reduces the jarring effect of the changes. They're detectable as changes, as natural as I could make them. Kinda pretty.
On last week's piece, djippy made a comment that suggested turning up the reverb send. I tend to keep it to where I can just tell it's engaged, but I've generally not cranked it in quite a while, and this seemed like a good idea. This time I tracked with it on, and turned it up compared to most weeks. (djippy's comment about bass is also valid, but there isn't bass here.)
Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola played with fingers, through the JHS Colourbox 10, with the gain way up. I ended up playing more quietly in response. In the mix, there's less clipping than I was hearing at the time, but there's still some coloration. Each channel has a send to a convolution reverb, and the stereo mix gets compression/eq/limiter.
The title is from Mount Atimbia, with an elevation of 654 m.
