Another koala effort. Going to export it to Ableton for next week's submission and develop it a bit instead of it being rather bare bones. Happy with it though as a someone who doesn't really seem to get much that sounds fully fledged out of iOS apps! No real mastering at all, just straight from the app.
More all-guitar, and once again the Tele Deluxe fretted for 24-to-the-2/1 just intonation. I'd wanted something a bit more spacious than the last few, which manifests in the pauses for notes to fade out. Like last week, this also makes use of the (Reuss Effects Understate)[https://www.reusseffects.com/en-us/products/understate] for a bit of tone-shaping before it hits the UA Volt.
The title is from the River Allow, which is crossed by R576 at Kanturk. (I probably should have saved this title for piece 579.)
This song started as an attempt to see what I could do with the bass from the OP-XY and the Overdrive preset on the ZOIA. I really liked the sound, and came up with the bass loop pretty quickly.
I then spent the week messing around with melody, and laid down a few of my favorite little riffs. The arrangement came together pretty quickly after that, and then I spent the last few days tweaking the mix and trying to get the best sound out of this song as possible.
Overall I'm super happy with the result, and feel like this might be the clearest 'track' that I've put together so far.
I started this track wanted to make a mix of Sergio Leone music and 80s Chinese kung fu music but that ended up being a strange trip hop synthwave track with koto. I kinda enjoy it but it took quite some time to make something somewhat coherent out of it.
reminiscence about our trip to Italy as strolling along the stream, the gentle sound of flowing water bringing back memories.
Was having a look at some loopers in VCVrack this week. Will probably do more glitchy looping stuff in the future no doubt.
