Vast Error Vol. 4 (incomplete)

Sburb

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt challenged us to a duel with a metronome: record a piece of music that weaves in and out of a steady beat. 

I assembled a trio comprising the Moog Minitaur (lead and bass), Roland Juno (pads), and Waldorf Streichfett (strings). I improvised a meandering chord sequence and spent a lot of time mixing multiple layers of analog pads to bring it to life. Against the steady backdrop of a simple percussion pattern, I recorded the lead performance on the Minitaur. Since this synth doesn't sync to the MIDI clock on the computer, riding the LFO controls manually let me improvise the swirling/cycling/beating patterns that dance within, against, and without the beat. 

About the vocals: When I was listening to the mix earlier today, I heard a momentary audio artifact that sounded like a muffled voice. This inspired me to add a vague vocal part for way back in the mix, so recorded myself reading an excerpt from "A Vision of the Night" by Ambrose Bierce.

Holey moley this was extremely fun to do, I'm glad I took my time to do this little thing cuz it was completely worth my entire time! I'd like to make more stuff for VE, but more importantly, still reference The Man. (shhhhhh just don't tell anybody)

15th track from the album "Vast Error Vol. 4"
https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/album/vast-error-vol-4

This was from Months Ago, it's the very first thing I've made for VE. Also it's some testing on certain synth that somehow renders in quite a problematic way. I prefer how this sounds though!

Vast Error ~ "My Protective Light"

This was made for Vast Error Vol. 4, and it's about Occeus and Calder who are both supposedly linked together by an interest/obsession with immortality.

Immortal is one of the most "different" things I've made. I actually love music like this and this was my first attempt to make it that didn't fail miserably. Thank you so much to http://donutheart.tumblr.com/ for the sexy track art.

Immortal

UPDATED 13 April 2020: I removed the roaring background noise!

My other track for Vast Error Vol. 4! This one is almost a year old at this point, and there's a bit I would have done different, but it's a lot more along the lines of what I usually make than Immortal, I think.
