Black Keys Seductive Harmonies (Damga-La Gazelle)

Hey, I've been recording a commissioned album using my new Ronroco (got it a month ago in Argentina and did my very first recording right [there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJBdmS7yqtk)) 

Now it's on my studio along with a fellow, old Ronroco I had and a little brother, my charango.

I have to record 5-6 pieces using mostly that instrument with eventual appearances of other instruments and the other two (ronroco+charango).

This prompt gave me the idea of an ambient track, there's this technique of strumming the instrument, widely used on South American folklore, that produces a steady drone, no rhythm just the sustained strumming.

I recorded several tracks of that, along with loads of reverb and delays and some simple arpeggios .

There's a low filtered brass drone (sample libraries) but this is 99% the ronroco droning.

The track started this early after noon is finished now, and it's still day here, so a true day-drone for you.

ronroco day drone - disquiet0647

The palace of night

Recorded & mixed on 19 & 20 Sep 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes -
For this, I put together a 4 track piece in FL Studio and exported stems on Thursday and then reworked those stems along with an altered piece of the full mix in Ableton Live on Friday. 

While I was in FL, I edited 32/16 patterns into 29/16 and also some other time sigs. I tried to keep it minimal, which also makes it a bit harder to count out but in the spirit of the prompt’s description, I enjoy the ambiguity.

Tools used - Fruity Kick,  Caelum Audio Tape Cassette, Arturia Delay TAPE-201, Puremagnetik Gelm,  Moog MF-1045, FL Plucked, Output Portal, FL Pitch Shifter, Ableton Creative Extensions Re-Enveloper, FL DirectWave,  Puremagnetik Pastfabric, Ableton Buffer Shuffler 2, Spectral Blur, Pitchloop89 & other Live native devices.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.
