Polaroids From The Deep

By Plantrain on June 1, 2014 10:16 pm

All my music tends to be cinematic and dark, so no surprises this week.
A drone, some synths, some samples, a piano and repetitive acoustic guitar, it all adds up to darkness in my world. Unfortunately there was no opportunity to record acoustic drums this week, so apart from some bass drum samples this track is drumless.

This was one of the times I really wished I had been able to add piano played by someone who actually knows how to play keyboards, and not by a drummer with somewhat limited melodic abilities. Or for that matter being able to compose harmonic melodic arrangements to juxtapose the dense darkness. Getting melodic stuff right for me requires either a lot of time or blind luck. This time I'm happier with the atmosphere of this track than with the melodic elements.

the atmosphere is really intense. Personally i like the piano bits a lot! I don't feel the lack of any more melodic elements, it feels just right!

Love the mood of this!   Reminds me of NIN Fragile era.  Very cool indeed.

Really nice atmosphere, like tick fog. Beautiful piano too! It also reminds me of NIN a bit, which is good.

More melody would only mess up the mood; it's just perfect as is.

Thanks. I guess my melodic limitations also can work to my advantage smile
