Axis Part 1 (ElectroProg - Seismic Phoenix) 2013-03-12T23:45:45+00:00 I decided to take a break from the remix/revisitation process for a few weeks. This is my first new piece of music in over 2 years. This took 8 hours to record/mix/master in Feb/March 2013. It began as an ambient piece but then acquired rhythmic trappings. I made a drone by processing a synth sawtooth bass through Audacity using Paulstretch. I then layered, pitchshifted, reversed, filtered, reverbed, delayed, looped, timeshifted until I had some harmonic interaction and added some synth and percussion. I used the A/B output facility in µTonic to alternate between straight and Permut8-processed percussion. I currently see this as an intro passage to a longer piece. Updated 20130318: This is no longer a WIP. Updated 20210716: mp3 link deleted as a 320Kbps mp3 on SoundCloud http://soundcloud.com/whatsisname/axis-part1-wip EDIT: 20130314 - changed Shimmer signal routing and EQ - remastered - replaced SoundCloud upload EDIT:20130317 - Shimmer HF tweak - added SampleMoog Taurus bass - remastered - replaced SoundCloud upload EDIT:20130318 - Shimmer HF tweak - mix HF tweak - remastered Recorded/Mixed in EnergyXT2.7beta - Audio processing in Audacity 2.0.3 CM101 DominatorCM µTonic Permut8 (Beatrick F/W) SampleMoog Taurus Valhalla Shimmer REFLEX Free EnergyXT Delay FerricTDS T-Racks Linear Phase EQ T-Racks Opto Compressor T-Racks Vintage Equalizer T-Racks Brickwall Limiter DR - 13 EDIT: 20210622 Remixed in 2021 - A cosmetic update of the original track (from 2013). Update from EnergyXT2.7beta to EnergyXT2.7 revealed that some of the internal parameters had been "shuffled around", although they were retrievable. I re-arranged the project parameters, and then re-panned the percussion and added a little reverb. I then updated the EQ settings, adding a couple of "surgical" Equivocate edits to the Valhalla Shimmer output. I replaced FerricTDS with Satin on the master bus, and mastered the track using T-Racks5. This has a cleaner sound than the original (in the first post of this thread). I'm hoping to release this on an album sometime in 2022.

Loved this track and loved the way you built the tension up slowly untill the very enjoyable release.

Great use of textures and beats.

Top notch stuff indeed.

Thanks very much for giving this a listen, and for the comments, blipp. Glad you liked it

I'm hoping to revisit/expand this in some form later this year.
