Centaurus A [Video now available...]

Hi again Peeps
 
Yeah, I know, my other track hasn't quite gone cold yet and I'm posting another one.
 
But I blame you lot for that, for encouraging me to keep on pumping out this stuff.
 
There's a bit of a twist to this one, but I'll let you tell me what you think I think that twist might be...

cheers, and thanks again to everyone here for excellent help and support, I appreciate it so much.
 
cheers

What, what's going on I hear percussion coming from my speakers  Call me a geek but I had the suspicion when I saw the waveform on Soundcloud, but I resisted the temptation to skip to that section.
 
Joking aside this is another seriously atmospheric track you have there and I liked that bass rumble in the final third of the track, great stuff.

Well, the sonics are stellar. As usual. I liked the sort of whale/string noise, and the big thing that got louder. It was pretty intense. I listened to it as I did my taxes.
 
I don't really know what your "trick" is this time, sorry. But it was a very cool listen. Also, I have no idea what the IRS is going to get.

Ha! Yeah... Those darn waveforms sometimes give the trick away
 
Glad you didn't skip
 
I wasn't too sure if the bass rumble would work too well, and, as you may already be aware, I mix on headphones, so have to rely on SPAN to tell me if things are not so good. I could "see" the bass level rising on the spectrum display but hoped that I would get away with it. So I am glad to hear that you thought it was okay.
 
cheers,
 
and thanks again for listening to my stuff

Thanks Steve
 
Yeah... Almost, but not quite a rhythm
 
And a melody too, for a change. I actually played this while lying in bed one morning. Couldn't be bothered setting up my MIDI keyboard so, for the first time ever, I used Sonar's virtual keyboard, and it worked fine for this piece. It wasn't as if I needed any virtuoso ability haha! Didn't bother quantising as such, just tweaked a few notes here and there...
 
Thanks for listening,

Well don't send your IRS peeps over here when they decide you need a bit of looking into Tom!
 
Thanks so much for listening and I'm glad you managed to get through to the end
 
No "trick," to be honest. It's just that I haven't used percussion on any of my creations since my M81 track. Any "beat," previously, was created using sequences and/or the Tantra effect.
 
This piece uses two kicks, layered over each other.
 
One was a kick from my Drumaxx synth, which I tweaked quite a bit.
 
But I still thought it was lacking a bit, so I used a "kick" preset from my Hive synth too.
 
The "kick" part starts about half way through, but it is very subtle. In fact, what I have done here is routed the kicks through both Breverb and Pro-R, each of which are on their own buss. I set the sends to post fader, which allows me to drop the kick track faders to -inf, and then increase the send levels instead. So, at first, you are only hearing the 100% wet effect sound. Once the effect send levels get to the required leve, I then slowly raise the track faders. I thought it worked quite well
 
 
Cheers, and thanks again for listening,

Great description of that trick, Andy. I like the idea of 100% wet reverb with no signal, then slowly add back the signal. Very effective.

Man, I always like your creations.  We are definitely in tune with dark natured or suspenseful material.  I can always count on you not to do any 'happy'.  Thank you for this.  I don't know what you did different or any of that, I just know it sounds cool and beautiful.  Post all you want, I'll just keep listening...

"The X-ray jets of Centaurus A are thousands of light-years long, while the radio jets are over a million light-years long"....
 
so, when you think about something like THAT,
and listen to this backing track, it all makes sense.
 
i like the atmospheric happening here..
but for me, this is just ambient sounds to go along with ........ something else.
 
not really a song, per se.....
and i like songs.
 
this is a wonderful piece tho.
i certainly dig the amazing gravitas of the giant heartbeat-type pounding near the end....

I do happy too, if you dig down a bit, and I do tag it as "Happy Music." But lately I am experimenting more with darker stuff.
 
Thanks so much for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed it

edit:-
 
Sorry Tim, I forgot to elaborate on what I consider to be different with this piece, compared to what I have been creating for the last twelve months or so... It was the beat towards the end. I have generally stayed away from any kind of percussion, although I may have used Tantra from time to time, to create some kind of percussion sound. If I do a piece with any kind of beat to it then I use sequences and arps instead.

Hi Rob,
 
batsbrew
not really a song, per se.....
and i like songs.
 



Yeah, I know, which is why I really appreciate your time here.
 
I don't do songs... Never will... Can't write, and I certainly can't sing, so I take the easy way out by experimenting with sounds, which has always been a love of mine, both as a listening and a creator.
 
I am so pleased that, despite this is something that should go along with something else, that you still listened through to the end and picked up on the beat towards the end, which, for me, was the star of the show, regardless of its simplicity.
 
Cheers, and many thanks,
 
andy

What always occurs to me when listening to these pieces is that time seems to go by more quickly..I look at the timeline and 2-3 minutes have passed before I know it. With a song I'd be thinking 'come on, get to the chorus' by about 50 secs in  Splendid stuff Andy, a sonic treat. Like the 'heartbeat' drums a lot.

Hiya James,
 
Yeah, I know what you mean about the time thing. I sometimes listen to "classical" music, many of which are "long form" pieces, and I find it's the same... Time passes quickly, in a different way to singy songs.
 
That's not to say my stuff is "classical" haha!
 
I think that, as long as there is something changing, some Peeps want to know what is around the corner, so are hooked in...
 
Cheers, and thanks again for listening to my stuff

Okay Peeps,
 
I have created a video for Centaurus A now, for those that prefer yootoobs:-
 

 
If you don't fancy watching the full nine minutes (understandable) then at least fast forward to six minutes and let me know what you think of the pulsing colour "temperature" that matches the beat.
 
cheers,
 
and apologies for the bump.

What always occurs to me when listening to these pieces is that time seems to go by more quickly..I look at the timeline and 2-3 minutes have passed before I know it. With a song I'd be thinking 'come on, get to the chorus' by about 50 secs in  Splendid stuff Andy, a sonic treat. Like the 'heartbeat' drums a lot.




Hiya James,
 
Yeah, I know what you mean about the time thing. I sometimes listen to "classical" music, many of which are "long form" pieces, and I find it's the same... Time passes quickly, in a different way to singy songs.
 
That's not to say my stuff is "classical" haha!
 
I think that, as long as there is something changing, some Peeps want to know what is around the corner, so are hooked in...
 
Cheers, and thanks again for listening to my stuff

The reason time flies so quickly is that in the fist 2-3 minutes, REM (rapid eye movement) goes into effect and by the time you know it, you're (unconsciously) fully deep into a spectacular dreamatic chorus.......I kid....I kid.....I kid!!!!
 
On a somewhat of serious note.......I did listen to the whole thing and appreciated the quality of details on my h-phones. The video also worked very well with this piece......however, the colour changes towards the end on the bass drum beat seemed a fraction earlier than the drum beat. Not a very big deal, but noticeable.
 
 Cheers mate, and well done!!

Haha! Yeah! You got it
 
Thanks, Mesh, for watching the video and I'm glad you found it to your liking
 
Not sure what went wrong with the timing. I thought I'd made sure that I got the timings on the down beat bang, checking against the Sonar project. I'm wondering if it was something to do with the effect, or perhaps something happened during the rendering process. Will try harder next time
 
cheers
