The Blackened Core

Created using the Buchla Music Easel, Tempest drum machine by DSI, a loop created on the Cocoquantus by Ciat Lonbarde being played back on the modular synth and vocals.

Ominous in the best sense. Appropriate visuals as well.

Those vocals make this thing scary! I dig the way those opening notes move between one another. It's a cool base from which to then freak people out.

the ominous tone of this along with all of that vocal craziness totally brings Goblin's Suspiria score to mind for me. great visuals as well, those black and white water abstractions work super well.

FEWK!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone.  Definitely not for everyone this track  . It had a very dirge feel to it before the vocals so I thought I'd push it even further. 

Nice one for the school kids I reckon. Great balance of tones as usual. It must be tough blending all that creepy dank darkness, you somehow manage to keep it clear and powerful an impressive feat.

Wonderful darkness. Feels like a perfect soundtrack for an experimental horror movie.

Thanks! smile

Everything was fine until the vocals.  That really freaked me the freak out.  Then the arpeggios took it to a John Carpenter level and then the beat came in which just sounded like Jason Vorhees banging on a garage door.  NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Reminiscent of the music by the band KTL.  Thanks for the nightmare!

Haha.... definitely not for the faint of heart but great description!  I haven't heard KTL so I'll check it out.  (I just googled it and it's an O'Malley project I see. Nice)
Enjoy the nightmare  big_smile
