Messing with the Moogs, waiting for the drop: Event Horizon
“I have seen the dark universe yawning Where the black planets roll without aim, Where they roll in their horror unheeded, Without knowledge, or lustre, or name.” - H.P. Lovecraft, ‘Nemesis’
The 1997 movie Event Horizon is still one of the most Lovecraftian films made to date, despite owing nothing directly to HPL’s own work. Nothing that is, except that hard to nail sense of true cosmic horror, in its’ tale of a ghost hulk of a spaceship which vanished years before, travelling to… somewhere else… And has now returned, freighted with a cargo of madness and death…
…so, whilst waiting for Igor’s no-input mixer app to drop, I thought I’d work on some background textures and sundry noises for whatever the app lets me make. And, well, one thing led to another, and so, I started blastin’… 
The resultant noise put me in mind, albeit in a small humble way, of that fab movie (which has an exceptional sound design/soundtrack collaboration between Michel Kamen and Orbital (!) btw, a big influence on me aesthetically if not practically!). So: my own little tribute to Event Horizon it is, then, apparently.
This is the first time I’ve actually used all three elements of my Moog Sound Studio 3 hardware - the Mother 32, Dfam, and Subharmonicon - together in a finished piece, and they are the only instruments used here, no other hardware or apps save just reverb from Alteza, added as I mixed down live into AUM.
The Sound Studio is a fantastic learning platform for me, so deep and yet so compact that I have it set up standalone in my front room, with a little MMS skiff case off to one side holding the ES9/Roland 531 interface gubbins I put together, and a single USB C cable running from the ES9 into the IPad Pro. As neat, compact, and available as a sofa-noodler could ask for.
Spoilers, obviously, but those interested might care to check out:
Enjoy! (I hope) And remember: where we’re going, we don’t need eyes to see.

This is the sound of an uncaring universe
@sevenape : Ha! I get that a lot. Usually when I post a new track…
Great moog tones.
Very forboding and dark indeed. Really love this.
Love this to. Thank god you don't do jump scares. I'd be dead if you did with this brooding tension!
(Makes note to self: do jump scares.)
Thanks all, for the listens and comments!
Lol, you'll probably kill half the forum if you do start using those cinematic tension devices.
Well, that one gets several strewths and a bunch of blimeys from me!
That film is amazing - I’m going to have to re-watch it in the near future.
I’d love to watch the film that went with this music 🙏
Btw what are you using for your track art these days , that’s pretty impressive as well…
@GeoTony : thank you! That’s NightCafe Studio https://creator.nightcafe.studio/
They give you five free credits every day. I was using Dream by Wombo until they jacked their annual sub ridiculously, and I’d been racking up credits in NightCafe all the while, so I have a backlog of NightCafe creds to see me through for a while yet.
That’s what I use for mine, interesting that I didn’t recognise it which perhaps suggests that the individuals personality still comes through despite / because of the AI ?
