Xoo Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 https://www.bandlab.com/track/66e7deda-36a8-ee11-8926-000d3a428257?revId=65e7deda-36a8-ee11-8926-000d3a428257 So, no, I didn't come up with the title - a musician friend* came up with it and said "Hey, write a tune for it". So I did and this is the result. Some spacey arpeggios and guitar. * From the Heather Dale band - check them out https://heatherdale.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Xoo , Great production ! There's a Lot of Cool stuff in this one. I Loved the bass line after the breakdown. If you do any further work on it , I think some "tabla drums" would fit in Perfect around the 3:35 mark , when the vox like chanting comes in . Playing under the Indian(ish) bass instrument they would reinforse the vibe of that section. Enjoyed it .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Thanks - I hadn't even thought of the "Indian" bass sound, but I see what you mean (it's actually just a Rickenbacker 4003 through TH-U amp sim effects). I'll think about adding more into it - the risk is of course then it never gets finished 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hi Xoo Like this, sounds very good. And agree with Mark re the Bass after the breakdown and the Tabla suggestion - excellent very enjoyable Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesha Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 From the title I was expecting something more spacey/ambient and enjoyed your creation from your friends suggestion. My favorite instruments are electric guitar and bass and enjoyed the playing of both in your song. I would have been tempted to mix them a little louder so they stand out more, but the song is very good as is. If you decide to add tabla I agree that would add another enjoyable dimension. I wonder what instruments you used if you feel like posting about that. Good job, and you have some other interesting songs posted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Instrumentally, it's a weird one - I'd just got a couple of Cherry Audio soft-synths in a Humble Bundle, plus a free one (SEM) so after playing with a couple of them I decided to use *just* Cherry Audio* synths (I did cheat and used BFD 3 for the drums to be fair) - plus real guitar and bass of course. There's also a couple of samples I threw in at a couple of points. * Cherry synth list: 3 instances of Eight Voice 2 instances of Polymode Mercury-4 2 instances of DCO-106 Surrealistic MG-1 Plus SEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
