Sorceress [Berlin School]

Okay Peeps, I apologise for posting two in one day, but I've been on a bit of a roll and this second one just wouldn't let me put it down.
 
Unlike Conflagration, which was just one track/take, this is a layered affair with a total of eight tracks. All created by the Modular Time Machine 01 V1.1
 
 
cheers

excellent soundscape Andy - you can almost smell the tension :)
You really need to get with someone who's into video or do it yourself - this is crying out for a movie to go along with it imo.

Cool, creepy stuff Andy. For some reason I got an '80's horror movie vibe..Hellraiser, stuff like that. I like whatever reverbs you use, really warm sounding.

 
Thanks James
 
Reverbs... Now, there's a thing... I'll be the first to admit that I don't have the faintest idea what I'm doing when it comes to delay and reverbs. I kind of just sit there thinking "oohh... that's nice," and I don't get into the slightest bit of technical stuff about room size and reflections and what have you. Looses me.
 
So, for this one I used the following:-
 
Timeless 2 on its own buss with a basic stereo delay just to give the mono output from my modular some width.
 
Berverb 2 on its own buss. I pretty much always go for the cathedral preset and I might change the time, shape and predelay settings a bit.
 
Then, and I know this is just way over the top, but I use my most recent purchase, Pro-R, also on its own buss and I just love the Black Hole preset.
 
Then I send all my audio tracks, at slightly different levels, depending on what they are (frequency range and stuff) to each of those effects busses.
 
All the effects totally wet.
 
I even have send from the delay buss to the reverb busses.
 
 
Is that too much information?
 
 
Cheers, James, and thanks again for listening

Nice Andy, I must admit I think I would put a gently evolving Jupiter 8 or CS 80 Pad under it just because I could 😀.  You are obviously having some cool fun with you new 'toy' keep em coming they are good to hear.

 
Thanks Wookiee! Yeah, I know what you mean, and I may do some software/hardware stuff in the future, once I've got this modular thing out of my system.
 
Too many ideas and not enough time!
 
cheers

You do realise you will never get "this modular thing out of my system."

There are just to many possibilities.

Perhaps an occasional rest will have to suffice

Very interesting piece, Andy.  It had this vaguely menacing tone to it that only grew as the piece progressed.  Very effective use of the arps coming and going around the main theme.

Thank you very much Phil
 
Still learning lots about this new way of making music. Not the best I've done but in some ways it is actually more fun
 
cheers

Hi Rob! Thanks! I like the caps lock on "QUITE"

a cornucopia of frequencies floating wistfully over an audio orgasma. :D:D

Thank you very much David for your kind and well put together words

Nice one...   She's cool, dark and ready to pounce, but holds back just enough.  Love those repeated short, slightly distorted sweeps that keep cycling through over the slowly building arps.   Good stuff. 

Hi Steve,
 
Apologies for not seeing this earlier...
 
Thanks for listening to Sorceress 
 
cheers

Some of us have been spoiled rotten and are expecting Fractal videos to accompany the audio.......just saying.

Working on it dood! Working on it...
 
Actually, I've been that busy on the fractal stuff that I've not played a single note during 2017, which is a bit worrying...

Nicely done there Andy, a perfect underscore for a horror flick. Certainly has that old school mid 70's Tangerine Dream vibe when they used to jam live on stage.
