Mirrors

Decided to stick territory that I'm a bit familiar with for this week. When I started jamming out this idea it kind of reminded me of Darren Korb (composer for pretty much all the Supergiant games), so I initially tried to roll with that but it kind of became a dark ambient groove inspired by the likes of Piggy Black Cross/Gazelle Twin. I also watched the HBO Watchmen series this week which has a pretty awesome soundtrack so I don't know if they entered my subconscious in anyway. I would have liked to develop the progression of the song so it keeps exploring more ideas but the intent to was write something a bit easier to finish. I consider last week's song is be a failure because I messed up the mix at the last second and struggled to cohesively fit the pieces of that song together and barely got a semi functional drumbeat on it. Oh well, gotta fail sometimes to learn new things.
I utilized microtonic for this week's project because its easier to create beats that sit in the mix well pretty much right out of the gate compared to building a kit in battery.
Plugins used:
Raum Reverb (free download for christmas so why not)
Synth1
Spire
Microtonic
Tal-U-NO 60 for some deep bass
Izotope Ozone for "Mastering" (I'm not going to lie, I just used Mastering Assist and called it a day because I thought it sounded pretty deece)
