Distant Memories

By Saguaro Gigante on March 17, 2024 11:43 pm

I had a good time last week using electronic instruments so I decided to try it again! I like the way that this one turned out. Tried to get a bit louder and more low end this time. Working with electronic instruments is a lot different than with guitars and basses (at least it seems that way to me right now), but I like the vast amount of sounds available so I'm going to keep experimenting with them.

Sounds really cool and it's interesting to hear some chiptune arpeggiation in one of your tunes! You integrated your guitar playing seamlessly with that synthy guitar tone (sounds like you're using some kind of octave-up pedal?) Glad you're having some fun learning electronic instruments. Can't wait to see how this all ultimately culminates into your style on songs down the road.

Oh that part at 1:06 made me feel all good inside! What a cool tune! Never thought of hearing guitars in this kinda stuff! Lovin' it!

So sick man, keep doing more electronic stuff! More beeps! More boops!

I love the sounds and how it builds in interesting directions.

get ready for NOTIFICATIONS

Thanks! Yeah I was using a Whammy Pedal effect. Since the song was so synth heavy I wanted the guitar to also sound a bit synth-like in a way.

Glad you liked it! Yeah that little arpeggiator that comes in at 1:06 is one of my favorites parts of this track. There's a lot of really good chiptune and synth wave music out there that combines electronic elements with electric guitars!

Thanks! I definitely plan to do more electronic music this year.

Thank you! Yeah this style of music is really new to me but I'm having a lot of fun trying it out.

Really enjoyed the way that opening arp was used as a percussive element. Had a nice evolution from there. Nice job. Your android transformation is almost complete.
