FAWM: "Beneath The Surface"

Beneath The Surface

Liner Notes

For those of you following along, this was the song I was creating using the Terz virtual guitar the other day and was the subject of my https://fawm.org/songs/319224 song. I've used different effects on the guitar in this track so it doesn't sound the same and fits with the sound better.

I wanted to create a song with guitars and happened across the Ambient Guitar sounds in SoundPaint, which is where I started. Ended up with a few guitar sounds on there as well as some vocals if you wait long enough. I've suitably mutilated my voice so you can't really hear it 😆

Used to make this track: Reaper DAW SoundPaint guitar ambience, Terz guitar Native Instruments Icon Bass, Electric Mint guitar, Studio Drummer, Etherial Earth pads Roland Fantom Jazz Organ Stone voices ambient reverb Some built in Reaper effects on the vocals

Lyrics

What lies beneath Goes unknown Secrets are kept By those in the know We are desperate to know But sometimes those secrets Are secret, for a reason

Quick cup of coffee, zip up the jumpsuit. AI says the currents are nominal, water temperature fine. Sitting down in the submarine pod, you draw up the schedule. Today's gonna be an industrial tour. Mine some minerals, farm some resources. The reef is colorful as always, myriads of alien fish in the swarms. Brillant jellyfish, hunting penguin-bird-like predators. The extraterrestrial sun breaks through the waves, lighting up the ambience. You skip over the breach that, when followed, leads down into unfathomable depths. Suddenly, the radio lights up. Is that ... an alien signal? Your heart rate jumps up. Your next task is clear: investigate. But you hesitate. Despite all the beauty around you, you know that this planet hides a dark secret. Are you prepared?

Light and joyful ambiene. Together with the title, this immediately threw me back to the Subnautica video games. This mix works so well! 👍

Mysterious backing track. Echoing what has been said about the bass.

That bass sound is huge. A truly ambient and epic track. I also love the mix with the acoustic guitar. Those robotic voices at the end are awesome!

this sounds amazing! I really like how prominent the bass is without pushing everything else to the side. Great composition also! The vocals in the end give it the final push. Very very nice!
