THX-15 - ElectroProg (Seismic Dirge)

[seismic1]

Originally from October 2010, I have just tidied it up. By my standards, this is quite short :biggrin:

Love the sounds on here - the last part from 3:20 really ties it all together. the vox is a nice addendum. cool track!

Thanks very much for checking this out, phoenstorm. Glad you liked it

I was a little nervous of using that SampleTank soprano vocal as it had an obvious sampled sound, but by restricting it to less than 2 octaves and sending it through Shimmer, I was able to partially conceal some of those artefacts.

Here is the 2021 remix of THX-15. The remix was quite a straightforward affair, consisting of EQ, levelling, and panning tweaks. I added EQuivocate instances for a couple of instruments to target specific problems, fixed the timing of a trance gate, and replaced Ferric TDS with Satin on the master bus, before mastering in T-Racks5.



I hope it is gloomy enough for you

Great work Tim - very cool indeed, and paced to perfection. Good sounds and choice of sounds, in particular that vocal part sounds amazing

Gloomy, yet bouncy! Interesting juxtaposition of introspective piano with a ‘techno’ beat and almost EDM-style synth. I think I like it!

Thanks very much for the listen and comments, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it The vocal is the "soprano ahh" preset from Sampletank2 with a little bit of polishing/processing.

I guess you missed my comment?

No, I didn't miss your comment, but a weekend which was originally supposed to be largely relaxing and "unstructured" suddenly took an unexpected turn and became unexpectedly busy.

Gloomy is good, 'cos that is what I was after. I thought the beat was closer to old "Hip Hop" territory, but I'm not exactly an expert in these things, The piano comes from SampleTank2 Free edition. I think that was released sometime around 2004, but I didn't discover it until 2010.

Thanks very much for listening, SB. Glad you liked it
