Yo, NeoCelloGrunginBustedNutBro.

I recommend shutting out all other possible interruptions when choosing to imbibe the Nomad grooves. Perhaps wear headphones in a sensory deprivation tank. Or go out into the wilderness and listen away, hoping bears or snakes don't interrupt you. If they do, blast the track at them on speakers and they'll surely also get into it.

Anyway:

"a bunch of layered bass as it begins"

Yes. There are certain issues with using cello as a bass instrument - mostly because it's not a double bass. But it seems to work OK here though I did have to add an octave effect to some section just to give a more solid low end.

"That groove is mighty cool man"

Yeah, I think it's fun and addictive.

"a fair share of plucking strings here"

Yes, I think I began this one the day after having my first cello lesson last year. But I've sat on it for ages as I didn't have a clue where to take it and felt rather limited with my riff capabilities. There's more plucking (pizzicato) in it than bowing.

"some dreamy synth pads"

Just one violin patch that I've used in loads of tracks. Sounds like a pad because of the chain of effects (eg automated swept EQ) on it. A lovely sound.

"I found myself on a purple cloud with a velvet pillow at that point"

That's a wonderful place to be. My pleasure to take you there.

"you rolled me off into a storm cloud amid thunderous percussion and a super heavy downpour of some nasty electronic distortion"

Yes - that's just one cello riff at the end. It was sitting on the timeline in this project file and didn't know what to do with it. I thought it was some fairly average, stock hard riffage and considered getting rid of it. Then I realised I might as well tack it onto the end of this track as a final flourish.
"a bit scary it was"

Surely not for someone who makes Meshuggah covers?

Good to hear your detailed thoughts. Another track coming within a couple of weeks.

Hang tight till then...

wow right back. that is a huge compliment. this is my first emotional piece.it has gotten so many comments I started on anouther. hopfully it will be recieved as well. thank you

Thank you! Trying to get better and more cinematic! Such feedback just great!!!

No offense taken! Thanks for the kind words. Definitely will keep working on it.

Thanks for checking this out Neomorpheus!

Greetings, Mr. Neo.

Glad you liked the acoustic intro. I don't memorize how to play my songs, but some guitar lines stay with you. I liked this one.

I like the piano lines I write, but not my piano sound, really. I'll be looking into EZKeys at some point.

Ah, yes. The track went to heavier stuff because I really like using contrast as a way to make up for having no vocals to listen to and follow.

Very kind and generous words from you, good sir. I thank you.

Take care.

Hey Neo thanks man! a little bit of reggae always goes down well with a band...but playing too much will lead to the fire brigade knocking on your door! lol...all the best Dave :)

Thanks Neomorpheus for checking this out with the video. I discover the art online and ask artists for permission to promote their work with music on my website. I have sold a few prints this way for the artists. I am trying to get more composers involved in writing music for the art and selling the art. It is a way for composers to use their music as part of a business - at least that is the idea! Regards - Dan

Haha tis allright, I dont listen to Cooper so I am not sure if I understand the pun fully xD but oh well

I'm happy to hear everyone keeps saying they never heard stuff like this before, its what I aim for and am very pleased to hear it so often.

yeah the voices clipped indeed, I lowered it a lot with EQing, I put a sine on the voice, and I guess it was a bit too high frequenty.

haha yeah I love anime sounds, so it might be that I have some ideas from what I have heard in the past.

Arcade game sounds I got those ideas from kanye.

Thanks for the nice comment man!

Thanks alot mate ! It means alot that you found this one pleasing and I'm sure Ed will be grateful for your compliments !:)

With much appreciation_____Orlando

Thanks Neomorpheus!
Classic intro indeed. I can not play piano actually so I was just messing around sketching idea's until i've found out that this small and very simply tone ladder actually had the perfect effect and tonality.Pretty sure it might not be original, but it works :)

I hope to finish the piece within a few days!

YAAAYY!!Doom blues \m/ I love how haunting the delta slide blues can be, so full of soul and emotion. Thanks Neo B-D I'm going to make some more halloween tunes, wouldn't be right without a zombie and witch one! Both almost complete.

Hey Neo thanks man!..yeah the bass is played on my acoustic electric fretless 5 which I built, black nylon tapewound strings give it a not quite but close upright sound, thanks for the support mate very much appreciated!..cheers Dave :)

Thanks!
Your gonna have to put me on to what that is

Thank you for your generous comment. My mixing skills are so rusty I am having to learn all over again. Hoping this one is better than the first one you heard. I re-uploaded the track so have another listen please.

I actually kind of had a ##### and Roses idea when I did this. I just wanted something slowed down and not too cluttered to do some lead guitars over. Was diggin the Synths so made them a little more prominent.

Thanks for the listen and feedback.

Wow thanks for the vote of confidence, the track fed me the emotion, I got lucky to put this together!
