Moon Echo and more… When The Moon Falls

“I see earthquakes and lightnin' / I see bad times today.” -Creedence Clearwater Revival

Welp, this is as dusty as a dusty thing being dusty in a dust bath… I’m just aggrieved I don’t get to pair it with the late lamented Lunar Lander…

All noises created/manipulated in AUM from Noinput Mixer, and fed copiously through permutations of Moon Echo and sundry reverbs.

Thanks for the great gift, @Hainbach and @audiothing ! Much appreciated:)

Loving this! Particularly enamoured of the gurglings and chitterings.

This is great, like floating in the midst of a synthesiser thunderstorm - I wouldn't know where to begin to create something like this, but I'm glad you know. Thanks.

Premium ecstatic tension!

I’m listening with headphones in a hospital room and that “door slamming” sound at 33 seconds in made me jump. With a good film editor this could be a great soundtrack for a slasher flick…

I’m 2/3rds of through the Ti West “X” trilogy after seeing Mia Goth interviewed on TV.

You always make this style of composition look so easy but most of us know it’s not after trying to produce anything close to your sonic experiences.

Hey all. Thanks so, so much for your listens and comments. This was self evidently a very free form ‘atmosphere’ rather than any attempt at producing something resembling music, so I was a little nervous posting it.I am so glad that it met with some interest and approval despite that. Your supportive comments mean a lot to me.

As @McD intuits, I tend pretty much always tend to think of my noises as soundtracks to imaginary movies, there’s always one playing in my head as I develop a piece, so much so that I am often tempted to take things to the next level and try getting into filming some appropriate supporting imagery.

Film has always been my second great love, and I have dabbled in studying it from an academic perspective, but just becoming aware of the vast number of moving parts involved, the choice of lighting, of shots, of set design, of actors is overwhelming. And it is collaborative. I am not. I do not play well with others. So I think of film, think how much extra that whole thing would be, and think again… I do not have the time, temperament or talent to take the movies in my head and put them into the world.

At this point, the only long shot I could even hold out for is to score something someone else makes. Which, frankly, would be my idea of heaven. (Or hell… )

So, and not for the first time, I realise that one lifetime just isn’t long enough to acquire the skills and do all the cool shit, dammit!

If you can’t work with others forget scoring films, I think unless you are also the director. Those people think they must control everything in general. Maybe there are exceptions but I doubt the composer wins many contests of will. You are a servant to their vision and they often can’t explain what they want but they will know when it’s not right.

Svetlovska

Well, fortunately I’m not exactly having to beat the offers off with a shovel at the moment, so I don’t think my ‘doesn’t play well with others’ attitude is likely to be tested anytime soon! Guess I’ll just have to keep making the soundtracks just for the movies in my head.

This is excellent! It's like remote viewing a planet of unimaginable horror. Insectoid murmuring in the noise. Loving the clanking of massive doors and the blasts of noise
