Deep Eddie Zilker - Synesthesia - 320 by DeepEddieZilker

This is just something I whipped up using nothing but Analogue Modeling Synths along with reverb and delay. I pretty much designed all of the sounds from scratch.

Impressive - please check your SoundCloud page.

Cheers

listened to this the whole way through. some intriguing sounds you;ve made. im curious on what was your base oscillator for your drip sound. i know how to get it using graintable synthesis, puts would love to make it from any synth. about the piece, its quite intense, dont usualy listen to these type of tracks at all so bare with me when i say i would like to hear some more harmonics/pads. cheers.

Thanks, guys.

I used three instantiations of Drumatic 3 with different reverb and delays. I tweaked and panned each individual sound on drumatic to give it a desired rain-drop texture and then ran two (of the instantiations) of them through a spatial processing plug-in to add a little more dimension to it.

Man, these are nice sounds you got here I really like this

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Very impresive bit of sound design.

Very listenable for something that doesn't really go anywhere (and I mean that in the best possible way )

I have to admire the patience and experimentation involved in such a piece.

Heh. Thanks, tehlord.

I think I started it, two days after I put the Snoop Dogg remix up at Indaba and finished it, yesterday, which makes it two days, but the track really isn't that complex, musically, and was wholly reliant on sound design. A while back, my girlfriend asked for a meditative piece. Then, a few days ago, we walked outside and I heard these three crickets making these long-ass chirps - pretty much chirping the same intervals, so I sat down, pulled up a patch in Zeta and slapped an oscillator on both filters to create the cricket chorus as best as I could (there's still some bugs to be worked out ). I also made a fairly distant train horn sound that I really tried to stuff in the back-ground with Zeta.

I used Psyn II, to make the wind-chime sound and the intermittent chords I made using four sine-waves and the oscillators in a synth called Pentagon I. In total, there's only seven tracks, where as Snoop Dogg got four tracks for the vocal stem, about five (+/-) tracks for drums, not including hi-hats for which there were two separate tracks, two unified tracks for the bass-line, two unified tracks for the electric piano keyboard run, one track for piano, organ, and the 'Moby - Porcelain string section' sounding synth pad.

Thank Eddie for this inside producer info, really nice story behind this track.

Cheers.

Yup. When they say, "behind every great man is an even greater woman," I think they're talking about my GF - Only I don't know why she chose me instead of a great man . Believe it, or not, Snoop Dogg was her idea, too.

She got to hear the ambient piece, last night, and she likes it.

This is a little too weird for me, but the sound design is waay better than what I can do!

nice job!!

It is really important Eddie to have (in our producer live) supporting person in your home, either GF or WF.

Looks like you made a good choice man, congrats.

Cheers

This is fantastic Eddie - it's like you started a roaring fire out in the wilderness one night, held up a microphone and recorded the symphony of life around you. I was transported there. I was grateful for the addition of some warm chords partway through, they really complemented the ambience of the track. And it works beautifully as a meditational aid, I just tried it. The only thing I wished for was for the glitchy layers to spike a little slower, I found they were making my eyeballs dart around in their sockets which was cool but slightly distracting, haha. I also would have loved to hear something organic and wooden in there like a soft bongo or clave for some subtle rhythm.

HA! *slaps thigh*

Gah!

You just reminded me, with the whole wooden percussion remark. I spent the night up in Aspen, CO, a while back, and, of course, they've got these huge Aspen trees that, when the wind blows, make this huge, resonant knock as their tips collide with each other. I had the idea to try and get that in there, but completely skitsed it. But thanks for the feedback.

Personally I think the parts that came in at 1:50ish could have benefited by coming in a bit earlier, my attention started to wander away from the 4 note melody after a while. The sound design is wonderful though.

This really sounds like something BT would have made as he was still in the process of learning, I love it.

Now THAT is a compliment.











*sticks ice-pick through temple to keep head from inflating*

Thanks

Tchuck tchuck culas....

Well....about the sound design I must take my hat out of my head...very impressive and very amazing...you are damn good with it...but about the rest, the music...i don't have nothing to say because it's a kind of experimental music, dunno what kind really is but it doesn't make me feel want to hear it again...is a song that I hear and I think "Wow! Very different...amazing effects and techniques." but after that it's done...next music and ok!

Nice work!

This is something I can really dig. Actually, I'm grabbing this right after it finishes.

Very "realistic" textures. It does feel like I'm in a room with lots of strange sounds going on around me. The pads are a nice bonus and they compliment the sounds in a way that I didn't think would have worked. I could imagine Brian Eno creating something like this. By any chance have you tried including an organic sound in this? I'd love to hear an eerie acoustic guitar or something along the lines.

You and MrJiveBoJingles should collaborate on something!

EDIT: dseabra, thanks. I appreciate your comments.

To the question: Actually, my whole concept behind the song was to be as synthetic as possible with it using only oscillator based synthesis to create an approximation of natural sounds.



RE: MrJiveBoJingles - That would be fun. It would be interesting to hear his Moog flavor in a piece and I'm sure I'd learn a hell of a lot from that experience.

Interesting piece. Sort of makes me think of Xenakis with a touch of Helios sound for those soft chimey textures. I like.

[Edit: and the sound design was quite evocative of "natural" noises, so you succeeded on that front as well.]
