«Then a Sunray Tore the Clouds, as You Left Us All behind», ambient cinematic track by Oripeaux.
It is always painful to see someone you love go. Each departure leaves an open wound. I don’t consider myself as a Buddhist but some of its teaching helped me over the years. I like to keep myself reminded of the three marks of existence, especially the first one, Aniccā Impermanence. It doesn’t make it necessarily easier, but it helps integrating disappearance as a natural process.
I am stuck at home for the last few days with a Covid infection while my half is away for a week. And I eventually pulled the trigger and ordered the expressive touché, that I just received today. This was just my first experiment using my keyboard (SL73) and the Touché controlling SWAM apps inside AUM. It was not meant to become a track but I kind of liked the result, so here it is. No MIDI recording or tweaking involved, I just recorded to audio each performances for each SWAM instruments. The Touché is a brilliant piece of gear for expressiveness. I can see it becoming a central piece for my production.
Comments
Those pondering moments before uncertainty of outcome. Love this piece. 🤩
Thanks for listening and commenting ! Greatly appreciated !
An orchestra for the broken-hearted. Good performances too.
I am no stranger to loss. However, knowing that we’re not the only ones doesn’t make it any easier for me or you. I hear some serious angst in this. Hang in there. We will all meet again on the other side. I’m sorry to hear you are dealing with Covid. Allow your god-given strength to fight it. We will say a prayer for you.
Sounds like you’ve got the hang of the Touché already, very useful bit of gear - I did have to google it. Was diagnosed with Covid today, but I don’t think I’ll be buying one.
The opening reminded me of Scottish bagpipes, just for a moment, then it changed drone note - don’t think you can do that on bagpipes. Very haunting tones, especially with unexpected minor sound that occurs in the middle. Did you have a plan for this piece or was it improvised?
The Expressiv-e Touché can really bring life to synths. I am in love with this thing !
Thank you for the kind words and prayers @Paulieworld . I am already feeling a lot better, I guess this variant was not too violent.
Sorry you got it too. If you're lucky like I was, it should be a " gentle" variant. After 9 days I am almost fully recovered and didn't lose the taste of food. Sending you wishes for a speedy recovery !
Thank you for listening. I had no plan for this piece, it just came up very quickly. Right after opening the box, I started playing with SWAM cello and assigned the right parameters to the Touché. It really feels great and intuitive. I added the nembrini bassman to make the cello sound like some kind of baritone guitar and record that. I built the layers around this with SWAM tuba, baritone sax, alto sax, clarinet, trumpet, trombone and violin, then mixed everything to blend each instrument into each other to create some kind of pad. It is just an experiment but liked it so i shared it.
This is beautiful
Excellent! Another half? Very glad to hear that, bro.
Really enjoyed that, lovely swoops and resonances. Great use of the SWAM instruments.
I’m just getting over my 3rd Covid so you have my sympathies. Smell and taste not too bad this time but I had 4 months earlier this year when I couldn’t taste or smell a thing. Now I can smell the grass that the farmers has just cut in the field across the road. Makes you grateful for the small things in life 😊
This sounds like emotions themselves are being ripped apart - a very powerful piece. Your use of the Touché and the treatment of the sounds gives it a very unique feel. I don't think I have heard SWAM instruments sounding quite like that before!
This is fantastic stuff. Really really really good
Really glad you liked it, thank you for listening !
Thanks Mike! Not another, the same other. Time and communication can work miracles !
Thank you Tony! Lately, It seems you sailed away from the SWAM land to reach for the DS shore !
My variant was not too severe, I could still taste and smell things. It felt more like a flu to be honest. Hope you're recovering well !
Ha ha, I’m still SWAMing about with a few more complicated tracks in the pipeline but must admit to being impressed with some of the lovely sounds available in DS. It works well with GeoShred as well so that’s great.
Glad you weren’t to poorly. Mine was just like a cold, taste and smell are good this time.
Looking forward to more of your work with the Touché 👍
It is the same company who created the Osmose keyboard which I really like to own but cannot justify the asking price. Touché is a nice ersatz and incredible expressive. I am sure you could do wonders with it !
Thank you Colin, really appreciate your comment. What I like about this piece is that the harmony is so simple with its 3 chords and there is no click track used so I ended stacking each instruments on top of each other one after another with no clear measure change which gives this floating or blurry loose effect. Not sure I express it clearly though. Anyway, Thank you again!
Really glad you liked it. One of your video on top would be great !
Amazing, and harrowing at the same time.
This is...I have also acquired many SWAM instruments, but I have not been able to utilize them yet.
At the same time, I never thought of an idea like yours.
This will affect me a lot. Having said that, I don't think I'll ever be able to create such epic music, so I'm just trying to think of some scenes that could be useful.
But is this interesting playing style due to Touché?
That's excellent!
Thank you for listening !!! I guess the harrowing aspect comes from the fact there is no beat to follow. Notes tend to stretch, to hang in the air. And while you know another note is coming, you don't know exactly when.
Thank you for commenting Yuki! Definitely due to Touché. It is not MPE but it can offers similar level of expressivity in terms of performance. Without Touché I would have had to painstakingly edit CC by hand for each parameter. But honestly I wouldn't even have been able to create the piece. It is the physical interaction with the Touché that brought the idea of the piece. You can assign whatever and how many parameter you want on each of the 4 different axis of the Touché interface, to match exactly the kind of performance feel you want. It is incredibly responsive which makes it a great partner for the SWAM apps. By the way, I am not affiliated with the company ! I am just a very very happy customer! 😀 I ordered mine with SOUNDHOUSE. Do you buy your new gear from them?
