Intrusive Thoughts

By perman00b on December 29, 2024 8:25 pm

The last few days of the year are usually a time of reflection and hope for the new year. No hope from me this time around, just dread. This track reflects that.

There is reflection though. The past year has brought a willingness and permission to experiment and release things that are more and more outside my comfort zone. I discovered that the music I want to make, need to make, is very different from the music I typically listen to. The process of making has become its own, separate thing. And it’s been awesome.

The three of you that sat through my week 50 will recognize some elements here. I felt they fit, so I either slightly modified them or kept them the same.

Main drone: 0-coast sequenced by Pam’s Pro Workout.
Percussion: Syntakt
Recorded and mastered (to the extent of my limited skills) on Logic Pro for iPad.

Speaking of Logic, it has become my go-to mixer and recorder, supplanting AUM.

Thanks for sticking around. See you in a year.

Loved the dark, slightly menacing atmosphere and subtle rhythms - restrained yet expressive. Nice sound design.

Awesome! Thanks for taking a listen.

This absolutely feels menacing, dark and somber. Super well done getting to that core, damn.

Dude, this is amazing to hear!!! I'm so happy for you, this sounds like it was such a valuable epiphany.

I'm sorry to hear that dread seems to be the only thing in front of you right now, man. I hope the new year brings at least some good things. And if you ever need someone to chat to about the darkness, just hit me up on Discord heart

I hope I don't have to wait a whole year to get to hear more of your stuff!!!

The first and I guess last song of yours I hear this year smile. I like this. It is a little menacing, but I picture some exciting dungeon dwelling here. Maybe dark creatures ahead ... or maybe magical things. This bass hits, damn nice job on that. I like all the little accent sounds throughout. This could be good soundtrack!
Sorry you have dread right now! I really like the reflect you shared: "willingness and permission to experiment and release things that are more and more outside my comfort zone.

Wow, yes! that's amazing, and I totally relate! Thanks for sharing!

Love your user name btw, perman00b is a good mindset!

What a way to end the year. As dark as the nights.
