thanks!! the initial drum hits are someone in the background of a recording I took inside a music store. I have some weird convolution reverb going on with that, and a lot of automations messing with the decay and size. With the actual rhythm drums I have a few things happening - some specific drum hits (the snare is the only one I can remember) have their own delay or reverb plug-ins operating, which I automated at certain parts to change up the timing. There’s also the final bit where the drums bunch up and get shoved out of the mix, and that’s playing with the delay (which is pretty tame otherwise) to create an infinite delay loop.
Coming up with a lot of my songs for me strangely starts with messing with reverb, and seeing how weird it can sound :)
thank you! Yeah I agree, if I work on this file again I’ll definitely improve the balance of highs & lows. I tend to “build up” from the rhythm section towards the higher melodics, which means my quick lil’ songs like this tend to sound heavy on the lows lol
THIS WAS AWESOME! I was a huge Porter fan in the ‘nurture’ era and this perfectly gets the MV. The rain falling and then reversing, the skittering beat before the last chorus, the ‘vocal’ tone, it’s so good!!
I just bought PICO-8 and this is one of my first favs. absolutely love this. I’m so autistic about trains AND pixel art AND retro video games this is PERFECT!!!
Getting into independent games (more queer/punk/alternative spaces than where I was around, both on- and off-line, in middle school) became the reason I got out of the alt-right pipeline and came to terms with my queerness. I like seeing documentation of things like this.
