The Day After The Morning Before

Okay, I feel a little bit guilty about posting this here...
 
I've collaborated on a few pieces now with a guy on SoundCloud. I don't think he uses Sonar, so that is one reason why I feel a little guilty.
 
Plus, on this particular piece I have not actually contributed to the composition and I have only added effects to the track.
 
Having said that, I am still pleased how this turned out.
 
I Have recently purchased an effect called MMultiBandGranular. I appear to be going more and more down the route of exploring different sound creation techniques and this certainly appears to fit the bill. Still a lot to learn though.
 
So, altogether, I created a separate bus for each of the following, Timeless (my go-to delay at the moment), Breverb (my go-to reverb), Adaptiverb, MMultiBandGranular and two Guitar Rig.
 
Two instances of the collaboration base track, one normal and one reversed, were placed on separate audio tracks.
 
The reversed instance was sent to all of the busses whereas the normal one was only sent to the side chain input of MMBG.
 
I then added a load of automation to the send levels over the length of the track.
 
Funny really, in a way, because a couple of years ago I used to stress so much about creating songs that may fit into the standard sort of verse, chorus, middle eight, all that kind of stuff, and I was never really happy with what I did. Now I that I have dumped that ethos and gone more for minimal/ambient/drone creations I seem to be a lot happier with my "music" now, and I am even getting more positive feedback here too, which is great.
 
Anyway, here's the link, I hope you get through the experience okay:-

(apologies too for my current apparent Song Page domination...)

  No you are not
 
Nice Andy another one of those for a fat one

haha!
 
Cheers Wooks, and thanks again for listening... Perhaps I should slow down a bit. I'm not used to seeing four of may creations on the front page
 
 

I enjoyed this Andy, and I'm usually not an ambient kind of guy.
Really cool soundscapes and layering of effects. I just kicked back and let it take me where it would....
A nice ride!

Well done - sounds like a movie soundtrack.

Hiya Mark,
 
Thanks so much, yet again, for listening to one of my not so musical pieces, I really appreciate it
 
cheers

Is this a wink and nod to Umberto Eco's *Island of the day before?*
 

 
No David, it's just a play on phrase, "the morning after the day before."
 
I struggle with song titles. I do not write songs, if you care to listen, so I never have a basis on which to name a creation and I always name a piece after it is finished, usually with some astronomic or science fact/fiction relation.
 
cheers
 
and thanks for asking,

Hi Steve,
 

stevec
Did MMultiBandGranular contribute a lot to the metallic tones? 

Yeah, I think it did actually. To be honest, there was so much going on, effects wise, that I didn't really focus on one in particular. I've only just started using it and I normally mess around with a new toy first, before using it in a piece that I am going to make public. In this case, I just threw it in there to see what would happen
 
Thanks gain for listening
 
cheers
