Stick Shift

Some automotive sayings also relate to music, and I don't mean three on the tree! This also could be called Lost in Chaos as the melody can get lost in the chaos; this was on purpose.

I know that most of you are not into this genre, EDM, so you can pass on this one if you wish.

Biab Style = Neon Floor Modern Electro
Tempo = 130 BPM

Bass = Synthmaster - preset - Auraseqbass
Piano - Synthmaster - preset - Pad - Gated Soft Pad
Guitar - Synthmaster 1 - preset - OSC1:wavetype
Strings - Synthmaster 1 - preset - Pad-airy phased pad
String 2 - duplicated string track- Synthmaster 1 - preset - Pad-dark pad 1
Drums - various drums from many different sources - FX = Waves CLA drums
Me- Ultra Analog - preset - Analog essentials 7 via my guitar MIDI controller.

As always all comments welcomed.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

I think Lost In Chaos is more descriptive of this incredible piece of electro-rock. There is definitely an other-worldy atmosphere at play here and, although there is an element of chaos, there is an underlying order to the interplay between the different instruments/sounds. Great job, Mario.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

I'm not sure what I was expecting to hear, but it wasn't that!

The drums did a good job holding things together... up to the hiccuping end. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mario,
I was listening to Stick Shift and something came to the mind. There were a series of Latvian cartoons released in mid 80s, called Fantadroms, it had some most unusual / experimental soundtracks ever... for a cartoon, meant to be watched by little kids. Your track would fit in perfectly. Cool stuff! A+ for the effort stepping out of the box, and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. These cartoons, you can't undo. If you feel brave:

Thanx everyone for those very nice comments about this crazy concoction of mine. I greatly appreciate all of your comments, good and bad.

David, I have no idea how that ending got mixed up. If it happened a couple of times or if it wasn't right at the end I would repost, but for now I will just let it ride.

I get the "E" & the "M" but my "D" days are well behind me.

A nice piece for the genre.

Surprising, interesting mix of electronic dance, dub step, house, and synth.

I didn't see this coming, very interesting, nice melody, bass gives the beat and pads create the unique atmosphere... Definitely cool sounding SuperMarioD game music for the 21st century smile

I don't listen to EDM, but I had to hear what your created. Sounds like a hint of psychedelia sprinkled in. Love the sound painting on this. You keep it interesting.

Well, I really got lost a bit during this music Mario!
Could hear some melody in it, but as you say, that was what you meant to do.

Might very well be used in a movie when people get lost in a maze!
