Here’s last night’s mix of a song I’ve been working on.
It started as an instrumental about the last years of the French construction of the Panama Canal but ended up as sort of a Frippertronic soundscape. I’m still working on tweaking the drums and percussion stuff but the song is basically in the form I want it to be.
Moonbound – “Nina”
Genesis – “One for the Vine (Part 2)”
Ayreon – “Ride the Comet”
Ulver – “All the Love”
Animations – “Sonic Maze”
Marillion – “Emerald Lies (live)”
Riverside – “Dance with the Shadow”
Paatos – “Shame”
Jon Oliva’s Pain – “Global Warning”
Týr –“Brennivín”
Man on Fire – “What the Canvas Hides”
Tool – “46 & 2”
Eldritch – “The Blackened Day”
I’ve finally gotten around to getting a decent pair of monitor speakers: the Edirol MA-15D active. They’re a good size for my room, sound great, and have a ton of input options including SPIDIF so I can go all-digital.
Not only is this much better than my tiny 5.1 setup (several speakers of which can be spotted in that shot) for mixing purposes, but it allows me to use my sound card for its intended purposes, rather than just as some extra inputs. It has two separate buses, so I can feed them from my regular sound card or the fancy recording one.
There’s another Random ML competition going on at SA, and this one is themed around the Panama Canal. My entry is turning out to be very abstract to the point where it might end up for something else. I’ll post a WIP mix once I get the drum programming finished.
