War Rhino

Just playing around with some sounds and stuff (mainly on Omnisphere and my Korg Kronos), and came up with this fun little piece! I saw Hans Zimmer live recently, and it kind of inspired me to have fun experimenting, and to not be afraid to venture outside of my usual little creative box! All done in Cakewalk by Bandlab.

OK, that buildup at 1:30 was aces. This is killer.  So much going on but everything in its own space.  I just started loitering here but I bet this isn’t your first rodeo.  Well done.

Thanks so much for the listen and the kind comment! I do go way back with Cakewalk, however this style/genre of music is definitely a new adventure. Just having fun experimenting and pushing new boundaries!

Hi Ross

I Loved this - it really sound fabulous and those deep threatening vocals - great stuff.

When I saw the title it thought it was  about Rhinos and possibly Rhino Poaching - my wife and I run a Company in South Africa that we set up to Counter Rhino Poaching, so its a subject very close to our Hearts!!

I even did an album to make some money for the cause!!

Great stuff, really enjoyed this

Ross, excellent track. Very creative and probably a whole lot of fun putting together those sounds.  I thought at first you were using one of the Tuvan voices from Omnisphere, but maybe not.

Which came first, the artwork or the song title?  😄

Thanks so much Bjorn for the listen and kind words! Good ear my friend, it is indeed one of the Tuvan singer patches from Omnisphere! I took a small bit and groove clipped it. The other voices are me tho, lol!

Song title first, then the artwork (from Deviant Art)...

Hey Nigel, thanks so much for the listen and kind comment! The deep throating vocs are one of the Tuvan voices from Omnisphere.

That is truly horrifying about the Rhino poaching! Kudos to you and your wife for the good work for that cause.
