Ace In The Wind(disquiet0310) by Hypoid

Ace in the Wind(disquiet0310)
A simple song with three of my favorite sounds from long ago, sounds of contentment, curiosity and wonderment. A place I wish all could stay a little longer or visit a little more often.
Something comforting about the sound of wind, when you find that place just out of it’s reach, and listen… The bike, a simple transport, a way to explore your neighborhood, but the bike with a playing card in it’s spokes gave a gypsy’s freedom to the open road and distant places. The DX-7 was my first “unsupervised” synth, so I explored everything my limited abilities allowed and that lack of inhibition or care made the possibilities seem endless.
The card in the spokes is a pale representation, since neither the Stingray or my mom’s beloved all plastic deck survived. A mountain bike, plastic card and Blue mike to the iPad would have to suffice.The panning intro track fades into a spoke cadence rhythm made by looping in Audioshare. The wind is a field recording done with the Zoom H1,and was given some stereo field tweaks. The DX-7 is the new FM Player app that uses actual samples from the original, in this case DXII BellWahh A, that wonderful bell that sustains into a organ like pad. And it’s a free app! These were mixed in Cubasis along with my dubious bass noodling and my simple drum track. A bit of eq, volume automation, delay and verb were sprinkled sparingly about for cohesion, I hope :-)
