27.03.11 - DAY 86 - Udumbara



Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

This track contains several layers of bass. It takes inspiration from the new techniques I've been learning as the (stand in) bass player for Hexxed: Playing in different time signatures and playing them against each other. It's a lot of fun. I started with a riff in 6/8, then layered a 4/4 bass melody over it. This then progresses into a more complex section of one bassline at 7/8 and another moving between 3/4, 5/8 and 7/8. Another layer in 5/8. Then the large underpinning bassline in 4/4 with lots of 3/4, 5/8 and 7/8 bass tracks on top. I also recorded some bass through a pitch shifter to make it sound more like a guitar. There's a lead line with loads of fuzz and reverb in 4/4 and two other tracks in 5/8 and 6/8.

Music is math!

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^
