The line is from Jimi: “understand both sides of the sky”, in Midnight Lightning,
There is a veritable riot and war in the skies, but few notice, so concerned are they with what is below.
Look up to the sky.
The piece is a sky haunting,
A sky scraping,
And a sky scrying.
Very deep track..love the open feel and darkness of this piece. Great work
this darke werke
?why did i look up? ...
: I made you to!
holygodfuckshitdammmmmmit
: that's a hell of a portmanteau!
kool!
deranged arranging & decomposed composing!
Jimi has landed!
Weird electric metal jazz. :c)
incredible! It give me the desire to explore more electric guitar. But here the level is so high...
It can give nightmare to Adrian Belew!
What an intro!
I like the bassy and trebly parts working alongside each other. Very animate and three dimensional.
That is also not a bad thing. One cannot riot all the time!
Sometimes one must riot, it is a moral imperative.
Or be between riots
There's a happening here, hiding behind the squeals and transportation crashes.
It's ghosting, a sprite which slipped in between the sounds - it is not actually a being of my own making, rather a thing that was drawn to these sounds as a squatter to an empty house.
As long as it's amenable to the rules of the house and contributes!
Great soundscapes,taking me on an adventure - that's the essence of it, Campbell's Hero with a thousand faces
You've made gold! now you need to post it to my PO Box :)
The gold turned back to metal after midnight - I'll send a fiver instead -
wondrous drums, thunderous bass, wunderlust guitars, blunderbuss keys
Try to make the drum machine sound unmachine like - as for the rest, my gear is less like music gear and more like war gear
molten magic afoot..that squalling vortex is becoming more and more powerful
It's like Nietzsche's saying: beware of staring into the abyss as the abyss may stare back out of you! Well this is abysmal in the true sense of the word!
now that is one twangy sound! like a resonator!
It's actually a Strat with the selector switch in the inbetween position - although there's some top end EQ there to give that tin cone twang!
alchemic fusion starting to occur from these primal guitars and the vibratory bass
you always pinpoint the intent - the thing I groped towards [can you say 'groped'?]. And yet there is something very real in the notion that by combining different sounds [just as by combining different elements] alchemical transformations can happen - frissions, fusions, fissions and frankensteinian freak outs!
Cobalt hue in the explosions, ahhhh!
Blue Les Paul, too!
MOLTEN !!!!
"Scrying" now added to my personal lexicon... thanks for that! (and not to mention the very cool sounds!)
Very cool tone. Great job - the bass sound was quite big in this
That panning is downright animate.: Everything pans on this one! I had a strange experience at the mastering though - I made a compressed duplicate to combine with the first mix, but I found that the compressed version actually lowered the power of the sound, so I deleted it. I think it was a rare case where the first mix was it - anything further and it would be the good ol' law of diminishing returns
I know that law, but I rarely obey it!
ha! That reply made me LOL! (rarely observe the laws of diminishing returns)
There was no riposte to that one!
You choke it, but it keeps coming back. : wrestling with a beast which grows two arms for every one you hack off!
Ripping it all down, opening the Great Seam.
That riff is the great seam itself - and every seam is a fault line - the les paul is spewing magma
But now I do hear him in there.
Yes, this is a Fender Strat, the selector switch between the neck and middle pickups. Plentious use of the trem arm as well as bluesy bends with the fretting hand, and disengaging the blues licks from the usual boxes. There is a cleaner sound got when turning down on the guitar itself while going through a fuzz face, known as 'cleaning up', something else taught by Jimi. You have that lethal maxed out fuzz face tone [germanium] when full up, but just a few notches down on the Strat vol pot, and voila!, you have pristine clean - with just a hint of gnarl.
Jimi never brought this royal earthen sludge, this magma.
: That's a very profound observation, and points to spirits of the dark, such as Bill Boethius, and spirits of the light, such as James Marshall Hendrix. But ... but ... Jimi announced this molten sludge in his fuzz faced tones on Foxy Lady, Manic Depression etc. He opened that door downward, so to speak. He said, in effect, 'I am an Angel of Light: I have come to Earth to teach ye dark spirits the ways of light. I giveth the sludge to ye so that ye may exploreth it". And verily, this dark spirit here hath explored it. But I have done something else with it - I have put the sludge in the sky .... that is something else - skysludge
schizophonic
it splits ... bifurcates .... and yet it is seen as one .... there is no one ... 'I' does not exist
different kind of stereophony
two sides - nothing stays - everything moves, to disappear and reappear ad infinitum
That feeling of being over the top while simultaneously holding back ...
] - I'm slowly working through the tracks, which are really great
masssageon
love the shapes and diagram in the artwork - Yeah, I've collected lots of those old images from Alchemy books - they really speak to me. Ostensibly diagrams, they have a high level of artistic content. I also love white on black work. I chose this one as it's from a 16th century treatise on the 'art of metallic transmutation'. With tracks like this one which use metal guitar sounds, it's kind of apt - and I think sounds are closely linked to alchemical, transformative processes. This diagram is a circle of transmutaion, with the first 8 letters of the alphabet around its edge.
That snarl just fits.
i mean they create additional voices almost outside of themselves that sound human .....
I think they conjure the voices up and kind of draw them towards the instrument which I always think of as a wand, anyway. But it's strange how with certain guitars, other voices do creep in, like a photo taken in a haunted house where the unseen ghost is captured on the photo, standing next to you. This black Fender Strat has that - usually released when the whammy bar is used, and the blue Les Paul ... well that guitar has shown its supernatural qualities elsewhere - playing it allows the extra spirits their release.
fuck i love how gitaaars tend to sing
Yeah, using the basic antipodes here of a Les Paul [chewy sounding stark lines], and a Strat [wailing and springy sounds]
o yes a skyhaunting
I began to recognise in late 2015, that certain sounds live in the sky - i.e., that place in between the Earth and Space. It took a certain linear guitar sound, a vocal sound, to find that place. I called that first track 'Let's Move to the Sky', as I knew that was the metier.
There is definitely something afoot here.
