Ganymede's Inertia - ElectroProg (Seismic Convection)

I completed this a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have time to post it until yesterday, with Nordic travels and whatnot.. This is a downtempo piece featuring Phonec and Construct. I like these Psychic Modulation synths. Phonec in particular has given this track a BOC/Vangelis vibe. I even got to play my Strat and the Jazz bass on here too.

It took me some time to give this a proper listen and I'm glad I remembered, because this is awesome. Afer three or four spins I think you simply nailed that elegiac, wistful tone. Great production throughout & full of little gems, for example the introduction of the brassy synth lead around 1:40. Really don't think you could do much to improve this. Thanks for sharing!

Returned for another listen this morning…and loved it again! All the parts sound great and fit together so well! I especially like the Lounge Lizard EP. I picked EP4 up on sale summer of 2013 and have been trying to fit it into my ambient stuff. But my work seems to steer way out and the EP hasn't fit well yet…
Listening to this track again inspires me to try once again. I hope I can fit it into the track I'm working on for AO Vol 3!

Edit: P.S.-Thanks for providing the DL :listening:

Hi, phoenstorm. Glad you managed to listen to this, and thanks very much for the great comments. I'm very happy that you liked it

That brassy synth is phonec. It's a little gem, great for many different other-worldly sounds.

I could improve this track by actually learning to play guitar :lol:

You're welcome

Glad to hear that you're still enjoying this one. Thanks very much for the great comments :tu:

Lounge Lizard is a great plugin with a very extensive range of presets which can be easily tweaked. I've only used it on a couple of tracks, but in each case, I think the trick was pairing it with suitable external FX. In this case I used REFLEX Free, with a clean output from EP combined with an automated mix level on the REFLEX channel. Another sound that I like (at the end of Divide and Conquer) uses one of the phaser-affected presets through an external delay. I imagine both of these setups would be suitable for ambient. I'm currently having a similar problem with my guitars. I know the sound that I'm after, but I currently haven't yet been able to create it.
