And Ours Became No Ones(disquiet0295) by Hypoid published on 2017-08-27T21:59:53Z Poisoned Waterhole: Violent disregard echoes. Keenly felt today.- Peita Vincent And Ours Became No Ones(disquiet0295) I have been thinking of a guitar centered piece lately, so when this prompt arrived I knew where I was going to start. Something about an Australian watering hole that feels familiar to me living around the American southwest. The arid landscape and scarcity of water and services feel so desolate, and reintroduce you to the importance of what really matters. The guitar fits this environment well, needing nothing more than a shoulder to hang from and hands to play. This is a sparse piece, fitting both my abilities and the feel of the subject. Dirge like in its pace but building with indignation. The three main characters, an acoustic, clean electric and angry loud electric guitar were recorded in GarageBand alongside the minimal acoustic drums. A nice minimal percussion from Korg Gadget was made and brought into Cubasis along with the guitars. I was fortunate to have the cicadas make an appearance just in time for this project, so they were recorded with the Zoom recorder and open the piece. The mixing, equalizing, effects and track automation were also pretty minimal with a small amount of verb for all and momentary delay on the acoustic.

That background was right outside my door and my primitive guitar skills came to some use ;-) 2017-10-10T10:51:14Z Comment by Ya Wha? Love the sound, the attack, the panning, the background, excellent! 2017-09-30T23:19:08Z Comment by Hypoid @daniel-diaz: I understand completely :-) 2017-08-30T10:30:59Z Comment by Daniel Diaz @hypoidsound: I-25, Nah...never been there really, but your track reminds me those landscapes. Been in Denver briefly but never hit the road south. As for ABQ, well, after many years of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, it’s almost like being there, isn’t it? 2017-08-30T07:54:40Z Comment by Hypoid @suss-musik: Thank you, the fumbling search payed off ;-) 2017-08-29T21:43:49Z Comment by Hypoid @suss-musik: Thank you very much, nothing fancy, but definitely gratifying :-) 2017-08-29T21:42:14Z Comment by Hypoid @daniel-diaz: Thank you Daniel, there was a little I-25 inspiration there, but northwards during the eclipse! You seem familiar with this area, been here? 2017-08-29T21:36:53Z Comment by Suss Müsik Great chord :D 2017-08-28T00:05:18Z Comment by Suss Müsik Wholly unexpected and wholly wonderful.
