The Sea
tags: release, electronicHere’s another digital track, the first one like this on my site, however. Like other tracks I go for a jungle sound here, perhaps a bit slower, maybe falling under breaks and electronica more.
Some regular keyboard sounds are used, the EP is me playing for example. Most of the bass is legitimately played as well on my keyboard without much quantization. One of the synth pads that comes up, in the B sections, is a vocal choir sound repeated with the speed changed depending on the note. This technique is similar to how they would make synth sounds at the height of this type of music when they didn’t have access to the same synthesizers you can get for free today.
The album cover is made in blender using the little I know about geometry and shading nodes. I like messing with abstract art in blender like this, and I like going for retro aesthetics. Eventually I want to learn to either use the program Bryce, or create images similar to that era of 3d computer graphics.
