And now for something completely different: New ambient piece ...

Hi All,

This is a new piece - a live recording done on the Machinedrum using guitar samples previously treated, then played on the MDUW.

Really different from any application I used this instrument before.

I look forward to comments - this was recorded live with next to no editing.

Enjoy!

i like the bass especially, wishes there was some grain freezing...

This is awesome. though it does get a little pitchy at some times and hurts my ears. id soften them up a bit. and i agree, the bass is really good.

Thanks guys.

Do you mean softening the high notes EQ-wise? Thanks for the input!

This is nice. The high notes are fine with me.

Cheers everybody, much appreciated!!

really like the guitar sound design, it's somehow very organic and digital at the same time to my ear, that may sound odd, i know, but that's how it feels to me x)
very nice track dude, enjoyed this alot !

I think you're absolutely right in assuming that.

The guitar recording itself including the delay was analogue and of course played on a real instrument. After transfer to the (digital) Machinedrum, it was again "played" and pitched etc. So it makes sense you should think that.

For being a live recording this is very robust indeed. The melody is strong enough that I think this piece should warrant further attention; adding to it, refining aspects of it.

This is already very strong and evokes cinematic landscapes: it would work very well as a film soundtrack where some mafia fellows in the Mojave Desert are loading the limp body of a freshly executed man into the trunk of a car then driving over to a cliff-side and tossing the body over just before lighting a cigarette and watching the body tumble down.

Cheers mate! Enjoying your description of the plot :-)
