This is my first try at something different than dungeon rap. This type of stuff is what I naturally create whenever working with old synths. I like the rawness and kind of darker atmosphere of dungeon rap which is why I focused mainly on that. But this is more aligned with the music I like to create. It's just hard to place drums over that live stuff that doesn't play in time or even in tune really lol. I'm going to split my time between both areas though and just screw around.

How It Was Made

Main Elements:
Nouveau Mellow VST
Northern Borders VST

Played on a midi keyboard

Ran through Valhalla Vintage Verb and an old video game reverb vst that I'm still playing with

The pre-master was run through cassette at 70 BPM

They Returned In The Night

How it was made:
I recorded this a month ago and forgot what synth I was using, but I know it was either my Kawai K1 or E-MU Proteus 1 XR. I do remember that I skipped my reverb pedal because I was hitting it hard into an alesis 3630 and wanted raw sounds to distort with effects instead in FL studio. I played each of the 5 layers separately but for like 3 minutes at a time. After each take I just slapped it on top. Then I went back and did a shitty attempt at assembling it.

The pre-master was run through an EIKI cassette recorder. And then back into FL with another cassette plugin that adds a tiny bit of stereoness to it.
