This one's for the gearheads who can gearspot based
on sound alone. I want to know what synth is
responsible for a certain sound. The track
"Snorkmaiden" off of Kid Spatula (u-Ziq) Full Sunken
Breaks (2000) is built off of the sound entirely. The
best example is the very first chord. Another
Paradinas track, "First Kiss" off of Jake Slazenger-
Makesaracket is built upon the sound as well; again,
it begins the track as well. It's in a lot of other
IDM stuff- I just heard it minutes ago in track 12 off
of Tim Telow's "Beauty Walks a Razor's Edge." It's got
an attenuated attack that sweeps slightly into a
flute/analogue synth sound. This is virtually
impossible to do effectively but maybe somebody will
be able to help based on the tracks and artists I
mentioned. It gives me a subconscious alert feeling
because it reminds me of so many memories of the 80s
when I was growing up. Any help or just random guesses
would be appreciated.
IDM content- does anybody dig on Peter Benisch? I just
discovered him really. I got some really diverse mp3's
and also bought "Soundtrack Saga." It's really great
stuff- every style he tackles sounds good in that
early 90's Artificial Intelligence vein. "Soundtrack
Saga" can get a little New-Agey in some parts with all
the conga sounds and female vocals. But, that's really
not noticeable after further listens. It's reminding
me of the absolute best ambient IDM moments on Bola's
"Soup" album.
Cheers,
Octocounts
