Shell & Loren - recents

decided to make a re-edit version for the spring, even though this song is ideal for the fall. original version found here: https://soundcloud.com/david-attic/turning

this track was originally flagged for copyright violation, i disputed it, and was surprised they reinstated it.

beyond the fog (original reinstated version)

the original version was in a much lower register, but it immediately got flagged as containing something else because soundcloud's copyright algorithm is fucking stellar. the track contains NO samples, and outside of a certain sound in the track i got 'busted for using' they aren't the same, essentially it's like getting a copyright strike simply for using an instrument or effect someone else used. i've disputed the claim but i'm not hopeful.

beyond the fog (in Am because the original version got flagged by sc's shitty algorithm)

well these two surprised me with a visit, even though i HATE drop-ins, but it was nice to see them in person again... we drank Coronas and ate gummies and they dropped some vocals for me here, there were supposed to be more lyrics but we went completely sideways for awhile, then they had to catch a bus back to Toronto, c'est la vie.

sc is being stupid again, this is pretty much the same as the 'a mazed edit' but with a modified intro.

cheat daze (hellgorithm edit)

you go out to things of interest, your type of scene, you try to connect, even though you aren't new here, but it's like you don't exist.

passively invisible

a slight remaster and edit/remix. original can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/david-attic/shhh?in=david-attic/sets/the-sisters-sournois&si=c90287d778fa4041954339f01ebfbed7&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

shhh (quiedit)

well that's what it sounds like they're saying.

an edit and slight remaster, trying to familiarize myself more with peak limiters and clippers so i'm not relying solely on Ozone for such things. Shelley says the song is essentially about rumours and madness. original can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/david-attic/birds-1?in=david-attic/sets/the-sisters-sournois&si=2689976fc5714f779c4f5161f128d13d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Birds (corrupted courier edit)

an edit and slight remaster, trying to familiarize myself more with peak limiters and clippers so i'm not relying solely on Ozone for such things.

my eyes have been so dead, i've been mistaken for red, yet tomorrow.

𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔

still waiting on Loren to finish up lyrics, vocals and other bits and pieces on her end, Shelley may jump in on vocals too... the music is pretty much fleshed out. sounding good so far i guess.

witch hunt (preview)

decided to take a break from my usual lo-fi plundery vaporwavey loops and make something that sounds a bit more normal.

falling into place

as per usual i think sc's inclusion/analysing algorithm has been crapping out again recently so i've been dipping into this audio experimentation sludge again. also, 'name that tune' (there's a hint in the title and tags).

Loren loves her neo-folk, and this is a prime example, gave it  a dusting up in this slight remaster. original: https://soundcloud.com/david-attic/loren-sournois-parlour

▲ (despiser dub)

this was made last week during another crappy heatwave, super humid super hot... even at night, conjuring images of damp people swaying in a stuffy dark night club, buzzing and trying to keep hydrated.

swelter sways

you finally turn that last corner and suddenly things are so alive.

vibrant corners

drafts

mosaic rain

i do not own an 808 or an emulation of an 808, but the "drum machine" i use is more like a rompler, which has 808 sounds. i don't think i used 808 sounds in this track though. all the same, may the 808 be with you on 808 day.

fragrant flags

wake routine

i have "fobi", to a degree, i'm not completely anti-social, but i get a considerable amount of anxiety when a social event is looming.

FOBI

sometimes it's so apparent you think it's all an act...

fragrant flags (extended)

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.
