"Bedtime for your Demon Cousin".
I'm experimenting with #drone music once again, or something akin to it, perhaps in preparation for late May drone day.
This is a calm one, done on #ModularSynth using various prepared timbres, the looper on the #DistingEX and the #QPAS filter.

Enjoy!
When I *did* start, I started with the same thing the track currently sounds with: fake "water" sounds. Noise through filters, mostly, especially #QPAS. I wanted to give the impression of a seaside without actually using recordings of such (although later, in the #ProductionPhase, I did add some cassette recordings of surf, mixed low). The idea was to make it close...but not quite right. Off. Weird. Unsettling, even.
But the final finishing touch for this one came from the #Morphagene. Well, the Morphagene run into the #QPAS and #Mimeophon, then topped off by the #DesmodusVersio #reverb. A special reel of more weird human sounds I made that played forward on one side and reverse on the other got good and Morphagened up. That got sliced into a bank's worth of samples (16) and those samples finished the track -' it's all that whooshy uncanny valley stuff.
