I truly intended to write some atmospheric IDM. But before I knew it, it cycled to something more menacing, then something more cinematic, then I just gave in and complimented it all with my inclination toward industrial. I felt compelled to add vocals, but didn't know what to say. So I wound up singing some Doom 2 flavor text.


I sort of want to follow this impulse a lot further... I guess we do have 40 more weeks, so who knows!

Full of energy and quite threatening. Vocals take it to another level.

Awesome work on all of these sections--I'm totally down with the ambient intro, and would have been fine with that being the whole thing...but then you kick up the level of intensity. Crunchy, fuzzy, glitchy (particularly digging those noise swoops in the beat-oriented section and later), bringing impact...great stuff.

Maybe next week you can do the same order in reverse, or even skip a few steps and go industrial atmospheric.

Thanks! I was worried they were a lil too loud, but I definitely wanna revisit this for a release, or at least a track on the full-lengther that comes from WB2018. Whee.

Hooray thank you! big_smile

Oh noes totally forgot! Admittedly I think like 3 times this week I start trying to write ambient music and it turns out huge. Maybe I gotta go the otherway and think to start huge and cinematic so I can finally get a chill ambient tune out, hah.

Perfection isn't when there's nothing left to add, but nothing left to take away.
