Although it looks as though I just mashed the keyboard with the capslock on, the title of this entry is an acronym for “Yet Another Pre[C]ambrian Resonance Track Preview”. In just twelve days Precambrian Resonance will be released and I will have posted 365 daily sounds on AudioCookbook.org. This piece, titled Forgetten Complex, is a bit of a departure from the earlier examples posted for preview. It was originally exhibited on ACB, and rather than a percussion driven piece Forgotten Complex relies on ambient Rhodes and other processed sound effects to create the lonely atmosphere of an abandoned warehouse.
Forgotten Complex
During a recent rehearsal I managed to catch a few seconds of a really nice improvised jam between Nils Westdal on Bass and Graham O’Brien on drums just before we captured a run through of a new piece we were working on. The kick has a nice thump considering that I was only using the mics built into the PCM-D50. I like the way the kick and rim shot pattern counter the bass harmonics. Undoubtedly there’s a loop in there worth experimenting with.
As promised,
