Close Encounters

By skkmkk on February 8, 2026 5:36 pm

Yet another Sunday without any ideas. Like past two months, I popped Kawai K4 on and scrolled through countless presets. IB-1 ArtOfNoise.syx sounded awesome to begin with - and yeah, it certlainly sounds like Art Of Noise. Some seven hours later I was "ready".

The only thing I was opting was to sound similary cohesive like in past few weeks. To build something ambient-esque electronica, like Virgo, The Primitive Painter and Alter Ego to name a few - but also sound like my own.

It's looking like I really could make an ep or even an album with this kind of stuff. I think I'll make it happen with my latest moniker Sangen Sees.

Very chill. What are those drums? The slap by themselves, but also blend into the background really well. I was never really good at striking that balance.
Also really digging the lead melody, it's so simple bit super effective.

Agreed with LeBernd about the drums that sounds very cool and doesn't "clash" too much with the rest of the arrangements.

Well played.

Thanks a bunch! Drums were ”glued” with Arturia’s newish fx plugin called Mix Drums. Pretty straightfoward plugin, makes interesting cohesion with all drum sounds really. This time I didn’t use it a bus mixer plugin, it glues only base drum and snare. But def a worthy buy imho.

Awesome sounds. Cool aliens.
