Mesmo's Midnight Adventure Theater of Sound presents: Xranth (An Industrial Fantasy)

Xranth

I really like the collaborative aspect of this weeks assignment and strongly feel this could be the main strength of the whole junto idea. The main track I choose to work with was Emi Minami's gentle and understated piece "disquiet0215-tinyrhythms"https://soundcloud.com/emiminami/tinyrhythms?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0215  I liked the outdoors vibe and thought it offered a lot of room to roam around in. I went to free sound looking for some nature sounds. I downloaded and used the following sound files.
1)62487__sagetyrtle__1103campfire1
2)13576__acclivity__batwalk
3)269570__vonora__cuckoo-the-nightingale-duet
4)190112__tran5ient__flail6
I added the files onto the Minami track. I then proceeded to do a lot of fx and proceesing and crossfading which got out of hand and I decided to stick to the simplicity of the original and left the files as is except for looping the very short flail sample to give it more of a rhythm. I still decided it needed more of a tempo so I added the beginning of Audio Obscura's excellent track https://soundcloud.com/audio-obscura-music/super-tiny-sound-disquiet-junto-project-0215-tiny-rhythms?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0215 looping that in. The title "Night of the Cuckoo Batwalk" came from the free sound files.

About the beat:
drums, bass, vocal chops and fx added.
the one thing that might sound questionable as being a synth-chord is built from the umo no triton sample,while the main line is just the sample, heavily affected and pitched. other layers are mostly from the fukamachi sample.
Then I stumbled upon this Gordon Ramsey Burger video, chopped some vocals on top and used some FX in the transitions.

Overall I tried to stay in the same vibe & key in the two parts but give them a totally different groove and feel.
