Depths And Hights

Dreams

He folks, trying out some new gazy stuff here.
Thanks to a little reverb pedal named Mooer A7 Ambiance. 
Together with a good fuzz or distortion (mine a Big Muff, Green Russian) and the right pedal settings, you can get big/loud/noisy soundscapes out of this little pedal. Oh, and entirely made with bass guitar. 
Little flaw with this one; after recording I noticed the compression pedal was on. Because of this the recording sounds a little to squashed/high gain. But the progression was great ... so yeah, here it is!

More coming soon!

New demo is here.
Going for a darkwave-like vibe with this one. Enjoy!
