"To Rotate" Beautiful ambient/metal piece I made today. (Axe-FX, Omnisphere, SD2.0)

Howdy my fellow ss.orgyers, it's been a long time since I posted any music in this forum so let's break the habit.

It's not a complete song, just an idea extended to work with solo. The solo was played by me, the drummer, and it's sooper sloppy and impro.

Cheers, enjoy.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! i didn't read what you wrote in this thread i just clicked ont he link direct (sorry for my ignorance, very ass of me, i know) i was writing something and getting my thoughts together while listening to your track, enjoying my self really shortly relaxing to it and then came the end i was seriously saying WTF? what wrong now with this old shit PC. MAN you have to continue this track.
p.s. soundwise i got nothing to complain about so far

Is all of the heavy lifting done with Omnisphere or are there other synths in effect here?

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

All the synths except all the percussional ones are Omnisphere. For electric percussion I used Cubase inbuilt drum machine with step filter and delay. (That's my secret, don't copy it! >: |)

For the static lead in the background I added a filter with full resonance and moving in the function of time.

Cheers for all the feedback guys, I really appreciate the fact that people actually enjoy this.

Fuckin eh. I normally am not a fan of these musical stylings, but I really enjoyed this.

As I've been in a stage of writer's block for... Well, months, I'm envious of your writing right now.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

Try to listen to some new music, get fucking tired (it really helps) and I can assure that your writer's block will be gone.

 

[JamesM]

I hope so.

Is this potentially going to turn into a new track?

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

We'll see about it... It's already 2 minutes long, but it's a bit repetitive. I've got to figure something not so static to make it work like a song, not like a soundtrack.

 

[JamesM]

Repetition isn't the issue, I think. It just doesn't go anywhere fast.

You'll figure something out.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

It's an issue for me - not to mention the fact that it's going to be dead boring to play.

But I will. I will figure something.

The thing is, I made this song in a few hours - all of it and it has a lot of layers. I just have to get unused to it. Like see outside the box where to start the surgery.

 

[Tapaska]

so chill <3

 

[Hourglass1117]

I foresee heavy half-tempo-ness after that glitchy cutoff.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

Yea, a breakdown is what this song needs!

 

[JamesM]

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

And because half tempo is not enough, I'm reducing the tempo to a quarter.

Only thing I have to do is to find an emo kid to scream on top of it. I'm set!

 

[Hourglass1117]

I'd say although it actually is very repetitive, it doesn't come off to the listener as repetitive. If you do want to cut some time down on it, I would say shorten that last little synth-only section after the solo before the glitch, although that would screw up the feel you've developed for the chord change. fuck it, leave it how it is and add a breakdown!

another thought, you could put this at the end of a song, have the initial section of this song fade in through some rung-out chord, and then use the proposed breakdown as an outro.

thats not what i was implying.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

Yea I think I have to figure out where to put this piece before I start molding it. I have some pieces composed halfly and this might just work with them.

We'll see.
