Michael Elliott Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) Listen to the new epic cinematic hit No Bigger Than The Space Of Time https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time Added another new section to the end, it's now about 3x longer than it started out, and evolves throughout the song. If you don't like it, wait a few seconds. Is still kind of a sketch of what it will become, but it already sounds like something from an epic movie trailer. 06-14-25: 061325 000001 000021d -- first public version; still highly experimental and subject to major changes at any time. 06-15-25: 061325 000001 000040j -- mix changes, added intro sounds, accents throughout. 06-15-25: 061325 000001 000061m -- extended with new dramatic section 06-16-25: 061325 000001 000071p -- added backing synth and other parts, assorted mix and timing edits. 06-17-25: 061325 000001 000097u -- extended with another new section, plus assorted timing and mix edits throughout.

Michael Elliott Posted Friday at 05:16 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:16 AM Copied from another thread where I was talking about this piece's construction methods: In the fourth "movement" it has some Planet Samples stuff from The Sound of Tomorrowland Electro Edition (a free "14-kit" bundle) for kick and snare and bassline, that I turned off snap in SONAR then dropped these in, not aligned. I also have them stretched out to I think half ish their original speed, because this is a slowish piece. Hit play, then began nudging them around utnil they sounded the way they do now (whihc isn't how they're supposed to sound). Stuck in some of the other noises and percussion from earlier movements in the trakc to reprise them and unify this movement with them, and give the feel it now has, to underlie the rest of the piece. The ohter movements' percussion is also mostly made up of either pieces of loops (almost all from Ghosthack) or individual sounds cut from loops, or individual wave samples (mostly I don't recall the sources, had some for many years, edited and tweaked and resaved over and over) placed around the tracks. here's a screenshot of the piece showing all the clips: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Elliott Posted Saturday at 05:53 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:53 AM Updated and added cover art, which like The Beaten Dog was initially generated in Perchance, though I had to blend multiple versions together and edit it to get closer to what I was going for.: https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time wiht some new tiny timing tweaks here and there, especially in the second movement's "pauses" of percussion to fit what the vocal is doing, slowing down or speeding up, etc. (ritardo, acclerando?) To do that I have to slice it up into pieces and squish or stretch individual ones and move them closr together or farther apart. I actually have a bunch of the cover arts I would like to use, but I can only pick one....and decided to go for a non-realistic style for this one, instead of the cinematic space version or one of the others. I might change my mind on that later. EDIT: Here's a couple of them; the "paper and ink" one took a lot of time in paintshoppro to get the titling and outline right so it looks more like it goes with the rest of it than something pasted on top (which is what I normally just do with the titles after I get the image generated and tweaked). Could use more work though. It was the original idea I was going for, and I still really like it, and may end up using it. The wolf-in-space one I have a bunch of other versions of that are quite different, each of which I like. (there are dozens of variations of eahc of the versions I have of all of these, but 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
