God Of The Gaps V2-0 - JHolmes
24th May 2009 00:36 - 17 years ago
Description : The title refers to a critique on Christianity I read in one of Dawkin's books. As our knowledge of the world increases, the things science can't yet explain (the places god is the only explanation) shrinks. This is why the Church tends to be anti-science, because it is effectively the enemy of a god of the gaps. I'm not trying to proselytize this particular viewpoint; I just thought it would be a cool name for a track [and it was on my mind when I first started writing it].
I'm using a chillout drum loop with mild slicing for the basic beat. The lull is a simple animated LP filter. I'm using a few biohazard channels (the ping sounding lead, the high pitched backing that changes sound, that intro effect), some sytrus strings (the strings, the other backing), a few FL Keys channels (the piano, detuned piano, detuned bassline), and, new to this version, a recording from my Roland EM-10.
I wrote it while on a road trip from Orlando to Denver (~30 hours in the car, and I only got to drive like five of them) and on a flight home from Denver > Houston > DC. I spent some time hiking in the mountains with the refrain stuck in my head, and most of the development came out of the echoes around my headspace. Colorado is a beautiful state.

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.

Description : I wanted to create an EDM-nostalgic pop type track. Liek the ones Kygo used to upload in 2016. With a euphoric trance feel but electronic vibe. Highly melodic though. This can be a summer anthem. Although winter's coming. Cheers.

What to say? You've got everything right here: the arrangement is truly fantastic! It's one of those pieces that's hard for me to imagine that it wasn't recorded live with a handful of musicians involved. Yeah, this is HAPPENING!
Faved without hesitation.
I reallly love the general atmosphere of the song.I had already downloaded your "Waiting" and I think you're developping your own style.
Cheers

I've been writing music in one way or another since I was about 10 (used to be just piano, then I started writing MIDI stuff in Cakewalk, and finally discovered the more modern studio tools sometime after discovering Fruity Loops 3). It's only recently I've started learning how to make a sound I can really be proud of. I'm glad it's cohesive with my other works.
but goddamn! this is fantastic, love the tension and release!
have you tried recording the sound of your speakers playing the piano part? and then placing that on top of the midi track?
you know what i mean? that might add some more character!
really cool.. damn love the disnonant bridge! gave me chills.
i hate christians and muslims, and everybody for that matter sometimes, but I hate I HATE, how they self-proclaim faith, and they bait the end of the world to prove their religion is true.
Armageddon and whatnot. idiots.
end of days makes about much sense as martyring yourself for a thousands virgins in my opinion.
we are moss covering a big ball of dirt in space and time at best. life will continue.
love the track!
... then I promptly deleted all my working .wav files by accident, so I haven't gotten to play with effects on the piano. But anyway, it might sound a bit better now.
