An experiment in aural anthropophagy

Pop may well eat itself, but Dark Ambient will eat anything, as long as there are lashings of reverb...

My latest little ditty started life as a short loop from the rather wonderful Cycle Time Lag Accumulator https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/cycle-time-lag-accumulator/id1403146926 which was sort-of doing Gauss type decaying loop things before Gauss.

This was then, um digested - (see what I did there? ;)) - that is, successively sampled and re-sampled, through three iterations of Samplr, before being laid up as three varispeeded and offset variations of the original noise, as File Player loops in AUM.

These were helped out by a selection of Eventide reverbs, before being mixed to a single bus in AUM, dumped in AudioShare for top and tailing, and uploaded from there to SoundCloud.

Below is the result. I have actually aimed for some ambience here (though ambience of what, I leave to your imagination), so it is most definitely slow radio. You have been warned. :)

  • Ah, we move upon the formless void as the galaxy spins out of control beneath us. Fun times!

  • Well varied in his style. I enjoyed it the whole distance.👍🏽

    @periurban @satie: thanks both for the listens, and the comments :).

    I see where you are coming from re the ‘formless void’ thing. Pretty accurately describes my non musical approach to making noises!

    As a kid I was always impressed by the incidental ‘music’ cum sound effects for sci-fi films, (e.g. excellent early work from movie director cum synth legend John Carpenter on one of my favourites, Dark Star: )

    I was sort-of aiming for that kind of vibe, so, thank you, I will take ‘formless void’ with pride.

    And Satie: namesake of my favourite composer for piano!

    I am glad you made it to the end still liking it. I find the biggest challenge with these, uh, ‘atmosphere’ pieces is knowing what to leave in, what to cut out, and, yes, when to stop. (‘not soon enough’, the cry went up...)

    The finished version here is about two thirds of the length of the original, and I’m still fretting about which edit I should have gone for...

  • Epic "Sandstorm" visions from this one. There's a real blast furnace vibe goin' down.
    More Cinematic than Ambient. I could see Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross putting this out for
    a film score.

    @McD : hey, thanks for the listen. I am a big fan of the NiN soundtrack work, so, truly, - thank you! :)

    Now in unrelated NiN news, I’m having to beat down my unreasoning GAS for this, from the mind of Allesandro Cortini:

    Given that it is called Strega, would obviously be ideal for Witch House :)
