Aliens And Interlopers (Disquiet0317) by Nate Trier

The final voice in our trio. I had trouble picking just one track that I wanted to work on - there were so many compelling entries! I ended up using a random number generator on Monday morning, and I ended up with this track from @disconcert_1 and @daniel-diaz .

Like my last Disquiet submission, I had the instinct to map everything out and create a grand scheme, but then on listening to the track, some ideas jumped into my head, like the dialogue at about 2:55 and and the bassline at 1:16, and I just recorded them as quickly as possible. After that, it was just a matter of segueing into this idea (and dropping hints of them at other places in the track).

The synth sounds are an Ableton preset (I still love the wubwub) mixed with the TAL Noisemaker vst. This is a cool track, so less is more.

Mixing was the hard part. At times, I cut some lows from the original duet to make room for the bass. I hope this mix came out ok!
