xstokes

Yeah!

Thanks, I just wanted to refresh some pleasant memories.

Thank you, this guitar from YouTube, it also fascinated me)

bro i played a track called silver on youtube first thing to come in my head silver im not familiar :))

half hour later this was born
i liked the intro lines and silver turned into second place, different music too, got more in the pipeline

Hi, Xstokes! Thank you for the kind words on this track. You get the prize for recognizing the inspiration for that first section of the track. It was definitely Kate Bush. Actually “Cloudbusting”. I found a patch in one of my VSTs that really reminded me of that track, and just started from that to build the instrumental backing. And, to my credit, this was well before the world rediscovered Kate Bush because “Stranger Things” had used one of her tracks. She has always been one of my favourite artists, and remains so.

Regards from very cold Ottawa,

Hey Mike - thanks mate - it's a somewhat forlorn mood, an atmosphere imbued by a sense of loss and days gone by, that I was connecting with in this one. Started with striking some harmonics on the open tuned taylor and built up from there with multi-tracking and various treatments (as is my habit)

mstokes ??? where the hell did you go... I got lost too bro. but the cats reference is hilarious

Thank you xstokes! I was going for a cinematic vibe as you described minimal, droning, & sparce.

Im really trying to hypnotize people lol Thank you

I think thats a fairly excellent and accurate summary. Though summoning angels, not demons hopefully. Thanks a lot.

thank you bro

Happy New Year

Danke

hey, sorry for not responding for so long, but your comment helped me a lot! i added a second lead around the half of a beat and during switch at the end. kick drum is louder and snare is changed. i still kept it simple but i like a final result much more. tysm for your comment!

glad you enjoyed :D

Thank for liking! Sometime I may stack so many layers, but that's my way anyway))

Thanks mate! Glad you liked it.

Hey Mike - yeah happy with the mix - took a bit to find the right compression. Al green - what a voice - sometimes let down by the choice of material (in my view) but with the right stuff unbeatable
Ive flown across the country to our west coast for the start of the year - 30 degrees (c) here so off for a swim shortly - hope you have a great new years eve and year!!

Thanks Mike - theres a lot in there (as usual) but it kind of seethes with a funky indie demo vibe that

Thanks again - louche lounge ... that's good : )

Hey mate - yeah I like a bit of brass and the nest of rhythm is nice in this one - my guitars run right through but I kinda wish Id made more of that break around 110 - seems to finish a little early when I hear it now : )

yeah i thought it did..thks

Damn you did it again, used words I had to google (and I pride myself on my vocabulary, though you might not know it on here since I'm usually tapping on my phone when I reply to comments). I just had a look at Avin Lucier too, pretty interesting eh. I quite like the scientificness of what he was doing. Don't think scientificness is a word.
