Desert of Song (Between the Buried and Me cover)
by Atmospherium on Mar 25, 2021The radio's stopped tuning
The static is forbidden
The chords quit strumming
But we found our new home
It will rain - falls so slow
It will rain down here
The drums quit thumping
These tones are forbidden
The throat cant start singing
The scarecrow is watching
It will rain, falls so slow
It will rain down here
It will rain, falls so slow
It will rain down here
Here, were awake in the desert of song
The silence broken
Here, were awake in the
The silence is broken
Silence is broken
Silence is broken
Here we sing
Sing with the fear
Fear: the control tower
The new sun comes by the hour
Ghosts slowly disappear in the fog
Silence the suffering
Weve built back the age-old sound of song
Sound of song
Sound of song
Finishing off my month of trying out different electronic music genres with...Synthwave!
[verse]
We all draw lines in the sand
and choose a side that we want to live on
But as we look to the sea
The coming waves can be seen just beyond
[pre-chorus]
No, it holds no bias
Water breaks the silence
Doesn't matter, it's the equalizer
[chorus]
Tides that go up and down, ebb and flowing
erase and make lines in the beach, da da da
and your opinions are no match for mother nature
It does what it can within reach
[verse]
We scamper back from the crest
and do our best to adapt to the change
Soon our leisure is done
and what's begun is reclaiming its stage

You're bedazzled. You can't comprehend what your eyes are showing you. Such smoothness, such curves. Perfection in nature.
A grain of sand has to wait eons just to be stepped on
Less we forget this very moment, me and you looked out into the waves, and saw the ocean. Less we forget our little feet caressing the sand....
The images are so simple, it can mean a lot. So i decided to take it into some rather chill places. Ambience is the main priority, but there is some drums in there for movement. Have fun!
Hey I made deadline.
Seeking ancients
Treasured time
Sands so far
Riding the heat wave
Finding ways
A grain in the line
Emerging truths
Riding the heat wave
Cooling nights
Searching stars
Sea of sand
Riding through the waves
Running sands
Under dark
Shifting ground
Dunes await

How do I get into the Awesome zone?
Any byeeeeee!
Walk without rhythm.
Energy low, making your way to the next pixelated oasis.
I got lost in sound design. I really enjoy my piano/bell sound. Problem is the the octave I play it at clashes with some of the other instrumentation and and everything's reverbed to hell (intentionally, yeah ambience!) so it sounds really muddy. The solutions I could come up with was change the instrumentation so that it gave the piano space to breath, bring down the ambient pad to clash less, increase the relative volume (raise piano, lower everything else), and/or eq the surrounding frequencies on other instruments to carve out the space for the piano. If anyone has any thoughts, please get ahold of me on discord or on the vote. Thank youuuu!
