Fabulous!!! Well done!
Thank You! I appreciate you taking time to listen.
Love the background weirdness
Thanks George! I used a free VST to create most of the weirdness. Do a search on Baby Audio Free plugins. I can't add the link in a comment. I used Magic Dice to create random delay effects. I have it applied to both a vocal and a granular drone.
Hey! Intriguing atmosphere to house that Froeseian guitar that appears between percussions and drums that could be from the great Klaus Schulze!
But at the same time I think I hear here a reinterpretation of some of your past (perhaps recent) productions!
Anyway, this is beautiful and one to listen to many times my friend! Greets and a hug! 🤗
Thanks Aldo! As with most of the tracks I create with the guitar there will be a very similar sound because of the way I play. Due to a combination of arthritis in my fingers and being legally blind in my left eye, I can only play the guitar one finger at a time, so I play on one string often, sliding between notes so I know where I am. This results in me using the same notes often. If you watch a video of me playing you will see that I also have to swap which finger I use often as after a few seconds my knuckles will start to hurt. This means I have to really concentrate again to land on the right string. Luckily this method of playing works perfectly for the type of guitar I really like having in my music.
I hope you are having a great weekend.
a mysterious sound when we hear something from behind a long funnel in the roar of the wind
Thank You! I really love mixing the weirdness of some sounds with the more expected sounds.
A fascinating combination of electronic and acoustic sounds: the music of this track is truly unique and evocative. The synthesizer sounds, very accurate and reminiscent of wind noise, create an airy and spacious atmosphere, perfect for the "Picking Up the Pieces" video.
The electric guitar, with its warm and delicate sounds, contrasts perfectly with electronic sounds, creating a perfect balance between strength and fragility. This contrast perfectly reflects the theme of the video, which talks about picking up the pieces after a difficult period.
The music is truly touching and moving, and invites the listener to reflect on their own difficult moments and the strength that lies within us to overcome them. Well done Colin for your ability to create such an emotional and meaningful soundtrack.
Forgive my very long absence, I have had serious health problems. Luckily I am strong and have overcome this sad moment. I will do my best to return to give you all my support. See you soon my dearest friend!!!
Great to hear from you Marco! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to check in on you to see how you are doing. I'm glad you are back.
Thanks for the very kind words about this music/video. I hadn't really done much with guitar lately, and after a practice video a day or so ago, I thought I should try and create something that married the two main styles I've been creating lately. I wanted to create a new sub-genre of my own. I call it "Dark Ambient Blues". I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Look after yourself and don't push yourself to do too much.
@@ccjmusic I found this musical approach really original, I hope you will make more music like this. Even if slowly, everything seems to be returning to normal. For now I can only stand still for a short time each day, but I will do everything I can to get back to what I once was. Have a peaceful weekend Colin :)
@@IntraMoeniaArt Thanks Marco! Yes, I'm sure I will create more tracks using this approach. It works well for me.
I hope that you are able to get your health more under control soon so you can enjoy life's pleasure whenever you feel like it. The main thing is to not push yourself too hard.
I wish you a healthy time always.
@@ccjmusic I will do my best not to give up, you can be sure of that. Thank you for your friendship!!!
Fine pieces the recent days. With guitar (?) and nice sounds ... Are the drums "real" or created by synth?
Thanks Frank! Yes, I used a guitar on this track and no, the drums aren't "real", they are created with a VST in my DAW. A mix of the built-in drums in the Mixcraft DAW and a VST called Trax CM
