I received my new OP-XY on Monday, and laid down this beat almost immediately. I then spent the rest of the week trying to write something over the top of it, and failed. I had some decent bass lines but ended up pulling them from this submission, because it made the piece feel incomplete.
Hopefully I can revisit this down the road, because I really like the beat.
Another one-guitar fingerpicking piece, on the microtonal Tele Deluxe in microtonal just intonation. There's a nice sparkle to some of these intervals. No inline effects--just straight into the UA Volt, with one channel for bridge, one neck, one both pickups. There is an additional couple of chords from the bridge in two places when the original line was a bit sparse.
There is the usual convolution reverb, and some compression/eq on the stereo mix.
The title comes from the Lough Allua, near Ireland regional road 584.
i don't feel like i had a lot of time or inspiration to do much this week, but i wanted to play around with beepmap which is fl studio's image-to-sound synthesizer. it was a lot of fun to make some real chaotic stuff! if i had more time it would be nice to refine this some more, but alas, that's not how the week went.
also i guess my circle of 5ths plan was aborted by my last track... so we are gonna be in Eb all month.
Life has ups and downs, we cannot control nor know what's gonna happen tomorrow. But one thing is for sure, this too shall pass.
A track that I enjoyed making and that was pretty painless. I have a jam session on Sunday where I'll be playing bass so I dusted my bass and got to play a little, which prompted this track and the main bass lines. I like the mix of funny vibe and slightly melancholic lines.
