Liner Notes

#instrumental #prog #noodling #sketch #zuzai

This one started off with me feeding the Korg M3 through a rather convoluted pair of effects chains, then I added some #WarrGuitar on top of it (lead and bass) and topped everything all off with Superior Drummer 3. Four tracks, all first takes with no edits.

Nice, I love the chorused high bass. It's a simple melody but it works so well. The continuous windy drone behind everything adds a lot of mystery. It starts a bit eastern with the 'voice' as well. I like how it suddenly becomes a much fuller piece halfway. Nice slow rhythm, lots of nice drum riffs adding variety.

Cool track especially for all first takes and no edits, very atmospheric and a bit gloomy, ahhhh...Warr guitars, i remember coveting one for a while round the Trey Gunn era of King Crimson, and it's weird to think the M3 is like 20 years old now?

I like the space vibe and chill feel. Well-done Warr-ing!

Ive watched a lot of old norse stuff lately and the start particularly reminded me of that modern style of music. I like the pick up around the middle, nice beat really makes it chug along!

I love the atmosphere giving way to a determined deliberate beat. Bass is nice! What's the sound up above? It's got me like a swarm incoming (maybe bee factions?). All of this was first takes - wowza!

I like the low guitar tone. Some of the things happening in the first half have a nice vocal/choir sound to them.

Lovely fabric of the synth sounds + FX, could listen to that evolving forever. Had to look up Warrguitar, fascinating! Really works when it kicks in with the drums at 01.30. This has a soundtracky vibe I think, ambiguous, interesting mix of upflifting and slightly foreboding. The camera following someone walking down a street, and what happens around the corner could go in any direction..

Sometimes a noodle can turn into something really cool, and this is a great example. Wonderful atmosphere and build!

I haven’t played with an M3 in years! Cool. A much softer open than I was expecting (always good to subvert!). A very open space. Fields, valleys. To me, this is complete, not just a sketch. That wall of M3 is haunting and perfect. Kudos!

that Korg is delicious. Seriously. I love how it's somehow in the front and back of the mix with the chosen sounds. Great progression as this builds.
