Totally Spikes - Client Project

Here’s a dark ambient project I had the opportunity to curate sound design and music bed for. This one called for more industrial and mysterious tones which is definitely my alley of exploration!

Interesting discoveries working on this project:

- I’ve modulated BIAS parameter in a TASCAM PORTA ONE plugin using a slow LFO for the lead layer which got me that super crunchy and broken tone. Never static, distortion is always moving in some ways. As the lead is being sidechained to the pulsating kick, TASCAM’s distortion reacts a bit different every time (or so I think)

- Using kHs Convolver by importing my old demos, experiments, stem renders, resampled stuff from old projects as a convolution reverb. This idea of merging my past-self to where I’m at today was quite an interesting experiment to pursue

- Swinging metals are actually metal chairs being dragged around the room. I tuned those in post to the lead and additional music layers so it sounds like a harmony supporting the main musical idea

Lemme know what you think!
