voici la force de mon oreille
Release
-->
the result of trying out my new microphones, rode nt5's.
the percussion is built from a recording session involving me hitting the top of my desk as well as a metal ornament with a pair of tweezers. I had one mic up on top of the desk and one under it, and I called it stereo. next came the really fun and tedious part of splicing interesting moments in the 2-minute recording and rearanging and layer them into patterns and semi-structured sequences, all by hand (I didn't use a sequencer for this). I recorded a few takes of ambient noise, guitar drones and whatnot. one guitar (the bassy one) is purely ebowed. I found a sweet-spot on the pickups that gave me a really nice thrash effect without needing overdrive or distortion!
finally, a bunch of effects and filters in ableton, some automation here and there, and here you go. I so want to do an epic 9-minute version of this, but it's so damn long aranging these beats.... | |

thanks guys =)
haha! tap-dance, I like the association. makes it easier to describe
I reuploaded the song. some tweaks, mostly in mastering and EQ/balance, but I did add a wall of synth at the end to emphasize the sort of emotion I go through when listening to it. it makes me feel really odd...
btw, direct link

....appologies. :p
after listening to this track at least 40 times today, it has dawned on my that the beats may be sometimes a little too random. just *sometimes* though. I want to keep a lot of those other insane head-spinning moments. I also want to stick an additional two minutes of quiet drone at the about 2:45 mark, right before the beats start up real fast again and resonance is gradually applied to them. it starts again too fast. I'll change the very end too, I don't like that last second or two of feedback, something doesn't stick. I envision a continuous buildup into mad noise, a bit like the first track on Mt Eerie (microphones)
otherwise I think it's ok and I will definatelly try these techniques again!

the elements are cool, but for my $$ the ebow doesn't meld real well with the clicks. maybe try compressing them together in that epic swell-so the clicks pump the drone?
i love comb filter wanking;)
