Hypnosis

Here is a mellow, ambient piece that I put together in a few hours over 3 or 4 days at the end of November 2022. A couple of days after I completed it, I realised that a couple of my favourite '80s albums had been talking to me.

Edit:2023-08-17

I made a minor remix of this yesterday. I have improved the stereo placement of 3 Absynth instances, adjusted the levelling of one of them, and tweaked the EQ to remove some harshness.

"In the Light" by Fragile Gods

Lyrics:

These are the days 
Of broken promises 
Talking so fast 
But nothing makes sense 

These are the days 
Of lost connections
Living on islands
With bridges burned

These are the days
Of falling slowly
Trying to hold on
But going down

These are the days
Of repetition
Where every day
Is just the same

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly


These are the days
Of pointless drudgery
Working so hard
But nothing achieved

These are the days
Of false prophets
Pushing superstitions 
And crooked schemes    

These are the days 
Of wildfires 
Polluting the air that we breathe

These are the days
Without a future
Heading straight towards catastrophe

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

Scraping back the layers
Peeling back the years
Nothing else remains
Except for my fears

I don’t know you
But I need you
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

In the Light

This is quite a minimal ambient piece that I put together in April 2023. It features an unconventional Reaktor drone, a couple of synth patches from TassMan4 and a Spitfire LABS flute creation, along with plenty of reverb.

Spot the sonic reference to David Lynch.

Edit: 20240120 - I remixed this yesterday, lowering the noise levels in two modules within one instance of TassMan4, then lowered the volume level and re-EQ'd that instance. I also changed the EQ on the LABS instance, and then remastered the track.

"Shadowboxing" by Fragile Gods

Lyrics:

Under siege 
By unseen forces
Shadows moving on the wall
Maybe they're not there at all
Maybe they're not there at all
Under pressure
Overwhelmed
When your heart is black as coal
There is no way to mend your soul
There is no way to mend your soul

Now it's getting clearer
I'm only hitting myself in the mirror 
Shadowboxing with the wall
There’s nothing to be gained
There’s no way to win at all
I think I'm ready for a fall
I think I'm ready for a fall

Glued together
But falling apart
Walking the streets feeling adrift
Will this fog ever lift?
Will this fog ever lift?
Disconnected
Out of phase
On the outside looking in
In the game but I can’t win
In the game but I can’t win

Now I’m on the ropes
Fading fast and losing hope
There’s no one in my corner
I have no strategy
Looking in the mirror I see 
My opponent is always me
My opponent is always me

Feel the impact
Feel the strain
Hit, hit back
Feel the pain

Now I’m going down
I’m losing yet another round
All this fighting with myself
Is only wrecking my damn health
There’s no way to win at all
I think I'm ready for a fall
I think I'm ready for a fall

Shadowboxing

This is a track using only (apart from a break sample) SonicCharge plugins  http://soniccharge.com/ and the beautiful Synplant Cellspace Vol 4 from Ghostwave Audio ghostwaveaudio.com/products.php.
