AbdA (disquiet0344)
Palindromesque, Mirrorish and Sorta Done!?
I’ve been experimenting with two new apps lately, Spacecraft and Patterning2, so they became the first instruments for this weeks Junto. Patterning2 is a monster update of the original that is a must have for beatmaking, the added features are brilliant. An interesting pattern was made at 82 bpm and sent to Cubasis. Spacecraft is an interesting granular synth and is so easy to get amazing sounds from, but it’s integration(none) and import/export features really fall short. Nonetheless, it made a really nice contribution with the wind like drones underlying this piece.
I wasn’t going for the full on palindrome musically, but instead used the mirrored title for a chord set with a similar feature. My Spacecraft work sounded…spacey, but with some Discord4, Roomverb and eq became more like an alien ocean or windy planet textured sound. Waldorf Nave is running a sweeping pad playing in the root notes and leading to the gritty breakdown in the middle where a pair of Micrologue sawtooth synths are playing the A B D A major chords ascending in the first half and A D B A minor chords descending in the second half. The drum track has a bit of tape delay and a second single hit drum track was created using a long verb tail that was reversed, eq’d with some panning, that leads into the hits of the original. Not sure this helps…seems like sometimes my explanations take longer and make even less sense than the track itself, oh well ;-D
Track art: The Flatirons become a foreboding face :-O
