Spark - Toastedavalanche

Description : I decided to try something I've never done before. Record and mix a track live! I premade some samples and MIDI sequences that I could trigger at will (I had to have the vocoder and strings ready). Then I got a friend to come around to help mix it live and help out with some tricky trasitions and some in-session resampling of my vox.
It took 3 attempts, but I kinda like the result.

Real unique track. Has a dark and mysterious almost sinister vibe to it. Vocals are perfect and extremely well done. I'm getting a lot of film noir feeling from it. Would work nice as a theme to something like American Horror story. I dig it TA.

Hey Neomorpheus.
Thank you for your kind words. I agree that it has a sinister vibe. I don't think it's dark enough for AHS though. The latter half seem a little more hopeful, in a ttrippy kinda way. Still if they offer me money, I will not be turning it down :p

Thanks for your comment, man.

Hey Eighteen,

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. The track was a good catharsis for me. I got a lot of emotions out that had been sitting with me too long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks Kargalar.
I used a Ouija board and a spirit box. However, it took me ages to get the place exorcised; now I can finally sleep without hearing Folsom Prison Blues emanating from the walls :D

Thanks. I think it worked out quite well. But I probably wouldn't record the same way again. Took almost as long as recording it the normal way.

overall a really good track, man. I don't comment much when I know it's a bad song in general, however cheers. Would definitely like to remix it.

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you like it. Remix sounds cool. I can upload an acapella, not sure how I'd get other stems as I recorded the instruments to only 2 tracks (1 for drums and 2) for all the other synths).

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.
