How old am I sounds from the clangers almost!!!! Great work
: They cut them with their metal knives!
Mental Brother great mix..... - did a bit more on the mastering on this one -
it's deep and intense which fits like a glove,
Just dig that opener Bro wicked sound such deep intensity its pulling right at the very heart of mi sole lol.....way cool, am gonna just sit back an enjoy the next 10mins for sure.....Be my guest, brother - just drink in that cosmic juice!
yes ambient it is indeed. :i: "existing or present on all sides" - dictionary definition of 'ambient' - I'll go for that!
fragile and mighty it falls apart and assembles all at once in a flux
The fragility of all things - especially the mighty - strange, I was listening to Fragile by Yes on something of a loop the days before doing this track ... fluxus, yes ... joop joop
good lookin on that pic.. and the music blows... 2017... acceleration!
- I wanted a certain look on the pic to reflect the retro-futro vibe of the track - tempo lifted for 2017/1967
love that synth sound and how it travels, and then that guitar that joined it as i typed
There was an oasis there for the nylon strung guitar, and that squelchy synth [Korg Volca Bass I picked up second hand the same day - first thing I played on it is this] muscled in - looking at the wave forms I can see how different the synth is to the guitars etc., and why it therefore provides another sauce, or juice ...
Your poem. We are much in agreement here. It's all about the juice.
: Yeah, that came as a bolt out of the blue - I spent a while trying to get an apt title and poem, I ran through a few ponderous things involving mountains etc., then got up to go to the loo [ahem] and it suddenly flashed through my mind, 'juice' - cosmic juice - yes. Bit tongue in cheek, so I put a sleazy image of me in shades with the Jag - very retro. Thought about 'juicer', and such, but then the cosmic rays, which should be wet ... and all life begins in wetness ... as the myths tell us ... life's just one damp patch
quite the gathering: acoustic and electric guitars, synth ... quite a cluster - things are going to get even juicier in a few moments ...
My morning juice...! Thanks! (I am awake now.... ;) )
: Glad to provide some pep! There's a Zoom Tri-Metal pedal lurking somewhere on this BTW
If you'd pulled out a sitar, you'd be right in the middle of some 1965 psychedelic exploitation!
: You've got good ears, I was so hankering after sitar sounds here - I used the Gt-6's 'synth sitar' setting on a couple of the guitar tracks, but things always got a bit too heady electric - next time I'll get closer to Lord Sitar, I hope
The non-guitar-synth stuff isn't quite right, it's more a texture than an actual approximation, although I do pull out that thing from time to time!
: Yeah, it's like - that's good sound, rather than - that sounds like a sitar! Might have to get one of those sitar guitars, the Coral or Danelectro, dunno
Good show, sir. I was going to play around with this but after a couple attempts, my DAW ate everything, so... we shall have to imagine what was!: Huge shame!
Yea, first time the DAW ate something in ages. :(
: I figured changing from the p bass of the eaten original to something completely different would put me in a different headspace. Uploading now!
lyrics
Cosmic Juice
Everything living runs on juice,
And supple star sweat, such as
Jupiter’s dripping rings, and
The liquid sliver of Mercury’s silver,
And the red wine of Mars.
Only death is dryasdust,
While life is moist astart,
& damp, with bleeding heart.
