Ragnarock - OSC #195 - Ragnarök 2

Disquiet Junto 0698 is the second of three prompts aimed at creating an asynchronous trio.

This week, we had to select from one of last week's community submissions to add a second part. I was really moved by Torpid Scorpion's piece "First Third", featuring a gorgeous acoustic guitar. As soon as I heard it, I heard the complementary part. The trouble? I heard it on violin.

I've only been playing violin for 6 weeks, but I practiced this piece pretty hard and got a couple of good takes this morning. It's simple and understated, I don't think it's awful, and I'm calling it the best that I can do at this point.

There was some room sound on the guitar part, so I tried to match it with light reverb on my side of the song. I also applied a little bit of a reverb to both tracks to place the instruments in the same room.

I think this piece is spacious, sad, and lovely, and I can't wait to see how someone finishes it for next week.

I've been brought back to my video game soundtrack drafts lately. This song focuses on an atmosphere of a lush alien world that was turned into a battlefield. Although I'm happy with the usual Simmons style drums I made with this synth, there is a strange behaviour that occurs when two that uses noise instances playing simultaneously, some kind of weird phasing/flanging effect. I tried to minimize it as much as possible, but I can still hear it. The synth itself has good tone shaping capabilities and it's CPU efficient just like all Full Bucket instruments. I really like the sound of an overdrive and chorus effects, the much needed sauce for a virtual analog.
