Well produced.  Killer melodies and composition.  Broad spectrum quality.

there is a reggae vibe here - tropics in space????

Great solo-ing with a very good sound ...

One Synth Challenge #179: Any One Synth

An entry for the KVR One Synth Challenge #179 - Any One Synth.

The unreliable narrative of Spaceman D. Bassman continues...

As the sun falls gently towards the horizon, a lone figure casually lounges in a deck chair, the fiery sky reflected in his visor. In his hands he holds a large glass of his favourite cocktail, Sex on the Beach.

Lieutenant Spaceman D. Bassman had been through a lot lately. After almost 23 months marooned on an alien planet populated by those weird musical bees, his oxygen, water and food supplies were at dangerously low levels. Things were so desperate that he'd taken to supplementing his diet with several particularly fat and juicy bees with each meal. They tasted disgusting, but he loved them nonetheless.

After months of despair and having given up any hope of being rescued, somewhat miraculously, the Corp finally located his emergency beacon and saved him from an inevitable and very likely nasty, bee-poisoning related death. He was lucky, and thankful to be alive.

With his gums still raw and nippy from the bee stings, Bassman, now safely back on Terra, took a long swig from his glass, settled back in the chair, and put another cassette in his Cosmosblaster.

While the sun continued it's decent across sky, the heavy throb of psychedelic space dub and beesong filled the air once more. Bassman sighed a long sigh of relief and wiped a tear from his eye; He really loved those weird musical alien bees.

Fin.

PeterBPL - Double Split

This is my entry for the 179th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge - a month when we could use any synth, so I chose u-he's Zebra Legacy, or more specifically, the Dark Zebra. 

"In strange and uncertain times, sometimes a reasonable person might despair, but hope is unreasonable and love is greater even than this. May we trust the inexpressible benevolence of the creative impulse." Robert Fripp

hope is unreasonable - OSC 179 - Double Tap

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was "0631: In a Silent Waveform". The instructions were to "take one held tone and make it dance slowly".

The title of my piece, "Dream of a Rarebit Fiend," is taken from a 1906 silent film directed by Edwin Porter. The film is seven minutes long, and is notable for its revolutionary special effects. It tells the story of a man who, upon gorging himself on Welsh rarebit (toasted cheese on bread), falls into bed with a fever dream of animated furniture, pesky imps, and a night flight above the rooftops.

I chose 554.37 Hz as my single source tone, and recorded 8 tracks of it: 5 on my St Vincent guitar with ebow, and 3 on a Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 analog synth. These tracks were then woven together and processed with a variety of rhythm-based effects to make them dance together. Additional rhythmic elements were created for the synth tracks by manipulating knobs on the SE-02 control panel.

Underneath it all is a single unsettling kick drum. The rhythm is everywhere and nowhere, something and nothing, like a fever dream.

NOTE: Your odds of discovering a secret recipe for Welsh rarebit hidden in the audio file may be improved by listening with headphones.

Dream of a Rarebit Fiend (disquiet0631)

The prompt for Disquiet Junto 0632, "Shear Wind", instructed us to take that awful wind-blowing-across-the-microphone sound and make it useful.

I live in a notoriously wind-swept city and the weather was cooperative, so I recorded several minutes of wind shear in my back yard with a stereo field recorder. I brought the recording into my DAW on three tracks, one reversed, and executed some glitch maneuvers to make them rhythmic. On top of everything is a Cmaj7 drone using a few layers of custom sampler instruments.

REMEMBER: Headphones are antennae, like an insect's, that pick up the thoughts of the composer.

Rocking the Regency Night Club - OSC #180 - Regency Synth

For this project I used a recording of a walk in the lovely Swiss mountain village of Ernen. You can hear lots of cow bells, children and a stroller. I cut several parts out of the recording that have wind shear, I then pitched them down and looped them, gradually focusing more on the windy parts. Also I added a Glockenspiel arpeggio. Drawing is based on a mural in Ernen.

I did a cover a while back, but I wasn't too happy with that one. Like many other tracks I've done, I've re arranged this one with a better skill set and more music knowledge.
