Pumpkin King - Time Lapse - August 2011

Post by Pumpkin King »

So no video game cover for this month. Not sure about the next either. I guess we'll see.

Anyways, I decided to finish this one up for the past few days on the Triton Extreme (along with a few tweeks and sounds from garageband). Originally I was completely stuck for the second half of the song. But I think I managed to make it work out smoothly. I was going to add some subtle solos in there, for the 2nd half of the song. But it didn't sound as smooth as I wanted it to sound. So I left it out.

Oh, and I'm starting to use soundcloud now. It's just more convenient for sharing with others. So yeah, enjoy. 8)

The rhythm is driving me insane in a good way. I love the time signature, whatever it is. Is that a marimba? Very fun sound anyway and the delay makes it even more playful. This reminds me a little of my Sutra of the Mystic Lotus (if you scroll down a bunch you can hear it at my soundclick site.) Nice expermental journey you take us on here. I think the rhythm is what keeps this interesting. I should try something like this myself.

The time signature started out at 3/4 and then changed to 4/4 throughout the second half. The cymbals rhythm didn't change however. And yeah I believe it was a marimba sound....just thought it would be a perfect fit for the song.

Hmm...I'll have to check out your song in a bit once I have some more time. Thanks for the comments! :)

Sounds good but I bet it could sound even better with a global limiter.

Haha, yep...thought I might as well.

Maybe I could look into that and see if I can make it sound better. But I dunno, I kinda wanna move on to something else. Thanks for listening.
