Dark Sun - Neomorpheus

1st Oct 2024 22:13 - 2 years ago
Description : After some encouragement by my good friend ValveDriver, I worked up some new material, added a dash of old stuff and BAM! new track. This one takes some inspiration from the Rings of Power series I've been watching on Amazon Prime. I love Tolkien. Anyhow this features a Bassline loop made with Serum, some heavily saturated harmony and wah effect guitars and a little psychedelic pitch shifted solo Hendrix style. What is it genre wise, Synth Rock, Industrial, Dark electro, New Beat?

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

This took me on a journey through the forest, with all its shade and glints of light through the trees. An incredibly well-balanced track. Love the Hendrix guitar bit and I wished the track had been longer! Kay0s

Thanks for the listen and comment VN! Pretty cool description there I like the visual. As far as the length goes I'm not big on long audio tracks. I would rather have someone say like you that they would have liked more than complain that its too long or repetitive.

This sounds cool.
I like that rhythm and This track is very original.
When i mix 3 genres in 1 beat i call it the RitajustRita genre so your track is now the Darksun genre......problem solved

(1 of 2): Neo, what's happnin, brother? When I saw that you had a new track on the wall, I could hardly wait until I got home to give it a proper listen. You sir, did not disappoint!
I'm not familiar with the show. I'll have to watch it to see the connection. We just finished up season two of "From". Trippy-##### show. I like the idea of making a track based on a show.
Serum is a beast! It's about the only one I use now. Did you use it for the sub, or for the sequencer at 0:28? Or, both?

The intro zigged, then the song zagged! Overall, it almost has a feeling of flight to it. I can definitely hear your brand of latin based sound in this. It does have a nice touch of Santana in there. Santana and Satriani. It's like Satriani cut a track on Santana's rig. As always, the mix is flawless. Everything is crystal. With the multiple guitar tracks, none get in the way of the others. It's perfectly filled. There are a lot of notes being played, and none of them crowd the place up. Well done.

I figure you would like the Rings of Power, It's Tolkiens story of early Middle Earth and the introduction of the dark Lord Sauron and the creation of the rings. This Serum loop was something I did a few years back when I was dabbling more with electronic music. I was just going through some files hoping I could find something to give me a direction and this just fit the bill.
I like the Santana /Satriani reference. Two great players that I very much admire. I never made that connection during the process here but since you mentioned it I certainly can relate. Of course like you said I do a lot of Latin flavoring, its a style I enjoy. It comes out sometimes even when I'm not trying. Satriani is big on using wah, he's a wah Zen Master. I have loved the effect since first hearing Hendrix' Voodoo Chile and Machine #####. That intro is just a bar chord that I reversed and stretched. I went corny old school!

(2 of 2) It's funny that I was the one that inspired you to jump back into your music, because after seeing all of your art work, it's inspired me to pick up the pencil (digital and "analogue"). I've been in an artistic slump for quite a while. Seeing the cool pieces you do really gives me the want to put in some quality time on a new piece of my own.
As far as music goes, I have a hefty metal tune that I'm stuck on as far as leads go. That's never been my forte, and honestly, I've been thinking about asking you if you could take a listen and see if you can come up with something fitting. Ever since "No Salvation", I've always wanted to collab on something. I just never really had anything that I felt was up to your caliber. This one just might get at least one toe over the line into that territory. Maybe. Let me know if you'd be interested.
Anyhow, it's so great to see you back with new material. I hope there are many more to come.
Take care, my friend!

Yeah I guess you and I do have a lot in common when it comes to creativity. I know your also quite an adept photographer as well. I do appreciate you convincing me to record. I don't get near enough playing time these days. Hate to admit it but I'm also discovering the onset of some joint discomfort in a couple of fingers which has reminded me that time is creeping up on me. I had to learn it. I still have your No Salvation track. And its still just as cool as the first time I heard it! I'm hip to any kind of collab bro. It may not be quick, I sometimes don't know what day it is with all I have going on, but hell yeah, love to hear what you got. Thanks brother, its definitely fun to get back to some of this. Even though this is the first track I've posted in a while, its not entirely new and I put it together pretty quick. I'm actually working on something totally new so stay tuned.

did you kidnapped Carlos Santana for that ? pls let him go. Your guitar lead is extraordinary. straight from your soul. I can almost touch those frequencies. Thank to Valve for kicking you in the nuts, we need more stuff like that. relly expiremntal and your mix is superb. i love those dimensions you created. every little sound you put there is a for reason and makes sense. crazy hard stuff but you dont overwhelm the listeners. Like Vintage Nights i get those avantgarde muse vibes but totaly your own. hope you you get back on track, something is brewing here in looperman, we all get more heavy and guitar is coming back. Love from a banana

Banana, thx for Santana mention, even in jest. He was a pretty huge inspiration for me early on. Still is. I do like to play with feeling and of course Santana is one of the best at it. Yes it definitely would be cool to hear more guitar music. Thanks for the cool comment man, I really appreciate it.

Really love the tune you did a really good job. Reminds me of Miami Vice a little.
Really great job my friend nice work.
Neomorpheus
Neomorpheus replied 3rd Oct 2024 - 2 years ago
Hmm, Miami Vice? I'm guessing its the synth portion. Jan Hammer did the theme for Miami vice and he was big into synth. That was a very cool theme song and the show was pretty cool too. Don't tell anybody but I had a Sonny Crocket blazer and pants back in the day!! Thanks bro.

Hendrix meets Muse. The marriage of the soaring guitars over the synth is set to last. Only thing missing is lyrics to add a touch of urgency. Kay0s

Much appreciate the listen and comment. I do like the combination of synth and guitar but I don't it that often. This synth loop was made several years ago when I was experimenting more with electronic music. I just ran across it while rummaging through some bass files and it grabbed me.

Sounds awesome, and dunno about the genre! Mix sounds amazing. Fx on the guitar sounds great, I don't remember Hendrix doing that.
Neomorpheus
Neomorpheus replied 3rd Oct 2024 - 2 years ago
Thanks for the listen and comment Zoot. Yes there is quite a bit of effects in the signal chain here. Besides the Wah pedal I'm also using a pitch shifter to obtain the harmony. I'm also using the whammy bar quite a bit to bend a lot of the notes in and out. Hendrix used an Octavia pedal quite often in his soloing, I'm using boosted octave fuzz, driving the amp hard, with some added reverb and delay.

Description : A dark, melodic trap instrumental with a hypnotic bounce and a smooth, atmospheric feel. The production blends haunting melodies, deep 808s, crisp drums, and subtle textures that give the beat a cinematic edge. At **148 BPM**, it moves with a fast but controlled energy, leaving plenty of room for confident flows, catchy hooks, and melodic vocals.

Perfect for artists looking for a **dark trap, melodic rap, street rap, or moody R&B-inspired sound** with a modern feel.

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.
