Hello Wonderful People,
Here is a new ambient track. Jon Hopkins is one of my biggest inspirations, so I thought I'd take a page out of his book and create my percussion using organic sounds, and also record a crowd to heighten the idea of getting away from "the noise." I use my fist banging on my desk, my nails swiping on the same desk, and my door closing, all reverbed and equalized to get to the desired effect. The piano holds everything together as everything builds and fades around it. In a way, the percussion somewhat serves as the noise we're unable to escape, the business and whatnot driving us on...
If anyone's curious, harmonically I just used good old I, IV, and V, with the I being an add6 and the IV being a maj7, for deliciousness.
Thank you all so much for listening! You guys are great, and I appreciate the comments and feedback so much--I'm so happy to have found such a giving community.
