when i close my eyes
you ask me not to sleep
the best is yet to come
sinking deep into
our lost philosophy
we've only just begun
the best is yet to come
I didnt like this too much, but i had fun with it!
This theme is strangely difficult. My great ideas ended up being too short. I was struggling, so i hashed in a cover of Holst's Mars. Fitting? Not really, but i was pushed for time, and loosing my will to live in terms of inspiration.
Whatever, enjoy it.
The shadows flicker on the wall and shine their eyes at you.
I started with an empty project (no template!) and ended up creating most of the synths and FX chains from scratch. Except for the lead, that was a preset.
Classic shorty but did some learning.
based around a deeply processed field recording of a klaxon recorded by a security camera in the middle of a warehouse fire.
Venture among the dark passages of the dark caves, defeat your inner fears and face the darkness head on. Only the bravest can reach the castle, and the riches that are hidden inside.
RAWK
we've wanted to do a metal cover of a song for a while, and the glittery sparkly caves made us think it would be PERFECT FOR A RAVEEEEEE
Cities underneath a stony ceiling
Rock that stands in place of sky
Stretching far beyond what you can see
Marvel at the structures tall
Take a step and hear those footfalls echo
Hiking ever closer still
Take a leap of faith and learn to let go
Hardly thought you'd see this place
In a lifetime's worth of exploring these
But one day you spot it all
A society tucked away here
So it comes all down to this
Just a yard away, you reach the front door
This is far beyond your wish
Now you get to see what youve dreaming of
They welcome you in, celebrate your sight
A visitor they had not seen in quite some time
They lavish with gifts, things you've never seen
But after a while, you must be off and say goodbye
So you leave the cave behind
What you see and felt, you'll keep forever
Take a final look, it shines
Lives that hide inside, like buried treasure
More commission work this week. I started early since I'm not following the theme anyways, but still finished in an hour.
This request is a little different as I am supposed to come up with 5 different versions of the same song that crossfade depending on the area you are in. I only got through 2 of them the main version, and then the forge/armory area which is supposed to sound more metallic and chunky.
it's supposed to sound like you're in a crystal cave.
I didn't get very far, but I figure it's best to get something up. I was going for a dark cave feeling, then it was supposed to build up into fanfare type stuff kind of like if you were traversing the cavern then it opened up to the view of the castle.
There are probably mixing problems, but I had so much fun that I don't care.
The song has room to continue, but I ran out of time. Hopefully I'll finish it someday.
I hope you guys like repetitive noises :) Enjoy!
