True Minimal - Killick

12th Oct 2021 19:42 - 4 years ago
Description : My most experimental piece yet. And shamelessly self-indulgent. Be warned lol

Built around a simple little pattern I devised when teaching myself to think in 7/8, years and years ago. Bonus points if you can spot the 7:4 polyrhythm that appears in a few places.

If you have time take a listen and give Killick some feedback.

I see xstokes mentions steve reich it's where I went as this wove it's spell, youve got a great sound on that piano and everything else is beautifully clear and balanced too
Nice work

This feels very dramatic, almost a cinematic soundtrack. It is telling a story. Great job!

Thanks, so glad you think so. It's telling a story I don't really have words for.

This is nice, strong piano track. Did you by chance use any of the piano plugins from Ableton or from in the Packs? I haven't been able to get a solid piano sound from within Ableton. Just wondering what you used.

Thanks!

Hey Wayne, so glad you enjoyed. No I didn't use any of the packs for the piano on this one. I used Pianoteq Studio. But I did use Ableton's grand piano hybrid pack for quite a while.

The only advice I can give is based on my personal experience. But what I did was built a custom instrument rack for the Ableton piano and attach a few stock plugins to it. Then I just set that to favorites, so I'd always use my pre-set.

I'd EQ 8 and boost a high shelf, (Not too subtly either, 2 or 3 db) a little light compression, saturator with drive boosted a bit, then reverb/delay. Just the reverb on its own will make a huge difference, piano really benefits from a sense of space.

Hope that helps!

This is masterful to say the least. The piano sounds majestic. Also you mentioned 7/8 time signature. With that musically you’re in my town at my address with this! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Stunning.

hello killick! damn, this is an impressive piece! the pulses are great, the pattern works out wonderfully, and your choices of instruments and loudness make this surprising and very cool. here and there esp with the piano and melodica i imagined a meeting between matt johnson and steve reich, and by the end even an appearance by simon jeffes. excellent track!

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
