The Absent Day

This last week I experimented with a lot of different ideas but couldn't really land on anything in particular. Normally when that happens, my fallback is ambient music since it typically requires little compositional effort on my part (as far as chord progressions, melodies, structure) and is mostly just letting myself be guided by sound and texture alone. So I took some ideas, reversed them, slowed them way down, slapped a super verby guitar on top with an ebow, messed around in massive to create some dark pads, added some bass guitar, messed with izotope trash 2 to try to distort the overall song. I enjoyed making this and I like the way it came out, its the kind of dark ambient I might typically listen to when falling asleep which is pretty much the only box I need to check off for personal success haha.
I hope this sounds evokative enough to please some ears, if not its all good, it's mostly the type of thing that I would personally enjoy but not recommend to others.
