3C 273 [Dark Ambient]

Hi Peeps,
 
Another Dark Ambient piece, with a slightest trace of Berlin School courtesy of an ARP2600 sequence half way through. Sequence doesn't change much... Only pitch. This piece is more about the soundscape/sound design.
 
As well as the usual Adaptiverb, MMultiBandGranular, And Guitar Rig, this piece also uses Sandman Pro and the new A|A|S Objeq delays.
 
I have also created a video for this and managed to go public on this and the SoundCloud track at the same time, for a change.

cheers

    Where's the love for this track although I must admit I had to look up Sandman pro but think I may have got the wrong product:-

    Although it is dark (pass me my torch a moment) there is still that filmic outerspace scene quality to it and it does remind me of early Tangerine Dream, think Atem.

    I can imagine that under the right circumstances this could be an interesting track to chill to.

    Thanks for sharing Andy.

    I listen to this earlier and didn't have time to comment. Had another listen and I'm very impressed with what you did using just pitch change. Very cool and trippy indeed. The video sync's nicely and pulls me in. Well done! Thanks for sharing this.

    Oh yes, very trippy indeed and do like the arp parts (didn't even need my glaucoma meds to take this ride, made me move like jagger ).
    With all your compositions Andy, you certainly have opened the doors in here to this genre. As always, I love the fractal vids you've sequenced them to.
    Well done mate!!

    That was cool.  I would love to see that in an Imax theatre.
     
    Your pieces are always so lush, deep, and layered.  I close my eyes and imagine you twising knobs, tweaking envelopes, and cranking the volume.  Do you use a sub when you mix?
     
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for listening to my stuff, again, Jesse. I really appreciate it
     
    I don't use a sub. In fact, most of my stuff is mixed using headphones and I keep my eye (rather than my ear) on the frequency spectrum using Voxengo SPAN.
     
    I'm also afraid that, for this track at least, there is no real time knob twisting going on. This is all tweaked on the go, but in many passes, getting stuff to try and sit right. So there is some "composing" going on, but not in the traditional sense.
     
    I have almost completed my new studio. Nothing that good about it, except that I am allowed to spread out a bit with my "real" instruments and I also now have my nearfield monitors set up again.
     
     
    cheers, and thanks again,

    Thanks Dan!
     
    You must have been listening to this as I was listening to your latest masterpiece
     
    I must admit, the way I make these things is so much different to what I was doing a couple of years ago. Much more effects and automation in these whereas in my earlier pieces I'd have more synths in a piece and only basic delay and reverb.
     
    Thanks again for listening to this and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
     
    cheers

    Thank you very much Gary
     
    I could certainly give you some pointers, if you fancy having a go
     
    Having listened to Calypso, though, I'm not sure that you would want to...

    Didn't watch the video, which I'm sure is cool, but as expected I didn't really need to.
     
    Another successful piece, Andy.  Loved the "white noise hits" weaving in and out over the slowly evolving bed, like a large object twisting and turning in space...  an object that at one point starts to get some rhythm.
