This was great Noah! I’m looking forward to the live bass being added but agree with others that it feels complete already!

This is Beautiful Michael, Well done !

Ditto the other lovely comments :smiling_face: Loving the way different time signatures interact towards the end too (if my ears are serving me correctly) - such a great way to bring together the guitars and cello :smiling_face:

Really loved this! So detailed! I loved how you used all that amazing sound design as instruments to mess with the tonal centre, and then brought in that inspired organ line towards the end, and how you structured it to have dynamic shape and space to be intense and to breathe alongside that… it was like an orchestral piece with all the detail of a symphony, but made with found sounds - super clever and really emotionally impactful! Thank you for sharing!

I’m buying the album! :star_struck:

‘The 1983’ - a take on 1980s ‘post punk’

Hi Guys

1983……….and then there was Post-Punk - 4AD were rocking it with Cocteau Twins, John McGeogh left Siouxsie and the Banshees and was replaced by Robert Smith moonlighting from The Cure, and Peter Hook was redefining the bass (with Joy Division and New Order) - and I turned 20 and started writing songs……..

This song actually has me playing real guitars x 4 and real Bass x 3 (for a change) along with the VIs.

As always, feedback and constructive criticism is very welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for sharing, Lee, that’s a marvelous rendition of the music of our youth (I’m two years older). For me that just caught the style perfectly. The Hyaena line-up of the Banshees and Hooky with that Eccleshall custom hollow-body… what memories.

Thank you Ros! I have to admit I mainly used sounds from the newly released Korven library from Orchestral Tools along with Grimm and Heavyocity Dystropia. The organ you mentioned hearing is actually a hurdy gurdy, I do like my folk instruments used in such a way! I’m glad you liked it though!

421

Stephen, that’s it exactly

Plus rather a lot of Cocteau’s :joy:

Thanks for the great comments. Lee

I recognised some of the sounds from guy michelmore’s recent spooky music video, but it’s how you used them I loved - really creative tonally. Orchestral tools’ own write up for Korven is sort of cautioning that it’s not the easiest library to use - this is a great advert for it! Thanks again for the inspiring share :smiling_face:

423

There are so many sounds in the library so it is overwhelming at first as to where to start! It is one of my favourite libraries now to add some different textures.

Also, it was a while since I listened to it and I forgot there is a organ line at the end that you were referring to that sits on top of the hurdy gurdy sorry! Thank you again!

I really enjoyed that Lee. It might be my headphones, but I found the vocals a bit soft or indistinct. Almost like they were backing rather than leading if you get my meaning? Could they be brought forward/enhanced a bit perhaps? It’s a great track though! :+1:

425

Thanks for the kind comments.

I think I had the vocals ‘sitting in’ a little on purpose as the style I was trying to achieve used vocals as part of the collage rather than ‘lead’ (but you may be right, as I think it may also be my tendency to do that when mixing :joy: )

Hi Lee,

You have hit the target you aimed for then, and done it very well! :smiley:

(Commenting on other people’s mixes is always potentially awkward… a bit like telling an artist they should have used more blue in their painting… :laughing: )

Speaking as a guy from a ‘military’ family (both grandfathers, both uncles and my father served in the UK forces for and at various times), for me you just (borrowing a phrase from our American allies) knocked this out of the park in both concept and execution, mate. Thanks. :joy:

Bravo Michael! A very fitting tribute indeed. The swell from faint and far off beginning to the full pell-mell of the battle is very well described. :+1:

I sometimes like to pick plugins and bathe in the sound of it all, this is the result of such an occasion. Hope you enjoy!
