BB75 Don't Be Afraid

Over at Discord's Beat Battles run BB75 titled c_da_whole_truth. This is my contribution. (As usual) the track is assembled mainly by tamed samples from the pack, augmented by some drum elements and that intro voice (by udio).

Lyrics:
In the land where ice meets fire
Where ancient tales never tire
There lies a truth bold cold and old 
In the heart of Iceland’s Jökull bold

Beneath your icy cloak Oh so grand
Lies stories of timeless land
Where legends dance in frozen halls
And echoes from the icy walls

Icy walls
Icy walls

Icebergs drift melt and go away
A silent call a dire dismay
Warming threats we can’t ignore
The world is changing at its core

Oh Jökull keeper of the time
Your melting truth is a poignant chime
Carved by winds or by steams
In your icy dreams, oh icy dreams

And now lets search into ice caves
The arctic fox stuck in its icy grave
A truth bold cold and old
In the heart of Iceland’s Jökull bold

Sannleika Jökull

BB75 Sunday Break

Couldn't let the weekend pass without delving back into HC Urblitz's excellent Beat Battle sample pack and making another slow burning, mysterious song. This time I took from several places and tried to bend his lovely waveforms into an 80bpm synth track with some eerie vox and keys. I think it works. Or perhaps it is the work of the devil and should be burnt at the stake. Nobody knows, except you - the listener. Comments welcome!

Beat Battle entry for BB76 (thanks @sawron-2  for starting samples and challenge)!

Beat Battle 76 rules were: 
-Use at least 1 beat from the pack
-Try to make it tense and depicting a post-apocalyptic world, where zombie rabbits have taken over
-Must be posted with a rabbit picture

**
I made use of about 20 samples in my track. The battle host "Destructive Intent" is known for his excellent breakbeat songs, and he included a multitude of great breakbeat samples in the pack.  So I decided to try to use and layer as many together in a song that I could, and I managed to squeeze about 10-12 in here to form the beats.  I used a tweaked variety of other samples he had as well to create the tense atmosphere, and then augmented with some aggressive synth playing.  I polished it off with a simple vocal playing off the host’s name and the directions for the song, becoming the title of Destructive Reality.

Middle aged geezer who has lived in London since Elizabethan times. Understand how to edit and mix, as well as an interest in music theory and a bit of guitar/bass/keyboards. Doing this very much for the fun of it and not really interested in copying anybody else. Love "hybrid" music and sound (or sound design) - meaning I love crossing different genres. Into LoFi and Electronic Folk right now...
