Playing around with an instrumental, somewhat ambient piece that I’ve been using as an intro to one of my rock songs in Second Life. Mostly an exploration in Spectrasonic’s Omnisphere and Izotope’s Iris, among my recent new toys this year. But it came out rather cool to my ears, so I share it with the blogosphere and see what happens…
Sorry…no cats in this song. Or underpants. Or cats wearing them. It’s not even the name of the song, which maybe it should be because the current title, Disturbed Clarity, sounds exactly like the angst ridden, “Look how tortured I am!” sort of title you’d expect from a bald guy who hides in his studio all day putting noise together.
I liked that a lot man. I’ve been trying to get into synths more these days for stuff exactly like that. I really love spacious ambient sounding stuff, and I’ve found a lot of that in the post-rock genre.
Check this one out that me and a friend did:

I ran my guitar through a bunch of effects on my board and was messing around with a battery powered drill for that ambient energy sounding thing in the middle.
DUDE…no BS, that was a seriously cool piece! The drums sounded big & fat, allowing all the cool guitar magic to blend in. I remember playing with drills after Van Halen’s “Poundcake” came out, though I never came up with anything beyond copy cat. I appreciate you stopping by AND sharing the tune. 😉
