Wookiee Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Firstly an apology to those who contribute here for not listening to your contributions, it is not that I do not want to but life has been a tad busy, more details are in the tune here Sad Day The Darkness Within Toys Cherry Audio Voltage Modular Arturia Pigments x 4 FX Cherry Audio Rackmode Phaser All other FX Cakewalk stock. Following on from Sad Day this reflects some of the internal turmoil of actions taken, for the best in the most part, but there is still the pain within. I would not recommend listening on headphones or buds at high levels there are some very painful tones. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Mournful and almost haunting mood to this. Really well done Wookie. The didgeridoo-ish instrument puts a sinister spin on the mood which is very effective. Take care, -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I'm sure this does reflect the inner turmoil in which you feel yourself embroiled. I think we all "feel" what must be most excruciating for you. We are here for you when you need us Wooks, our hearts go out to you. t take care my friend, sometimes life serves us up choices, none of which are easy...

I just have moments in the dark when I miss her. I am getting used to being alone, but I am not, I have my dog who really does not like me going anywhere without her. ? and I mean anywhere.

It uses random events to shape LFO's and trigger envelopes to synthesise the effects of circular breathing. Thanks for your ears and kind words.

Johnbee58 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Very effectively expresses turmoil of some kind. You should be a film or TV score composer. You know how to manipulate emotions with your music. I hope all is well. If not, I hope things improve in your favor soon. Best ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I find it very helpful when times are hard to indulge in making music to express what I am feeling, same for many of us I bet. This piece definitely is an ode to darkness within as you named it. It is very well done, the instrumentation is great, the abstract sounds are haunting, the rhythmic parts add to the tension and ground it. And then the spaces, yes sometimes when we think the dark feelings are past, they come up again. The mix sounds great over here. Great job of making something meaningful and darkly beautiful from your circumstances, and I wish you the best ! take care 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Old mate, this is as haunting as anything I've ever heard from you. I can tell you're digging deep for this production, which makes it very memorable, indeed! Yet, interestingly, it provides solace from your pain... it strikes a universal chord because this is something that we've all gone through or will go through in our lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Lynn, correct it is meant to give that sense. Another tune is fermenting which follows the theme it is quite cathartic to work through they pain and loss of my best friend, who is, but isn't, still here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Wilby Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 This paints a picture in my mind that I couldn't begin to describe. Can't really add anything over and above what the other guys have said. Keep up the good work. And your chin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
