DerWaschbar Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Lately I've been working quite a lot and haven't had time/energy for music or much else, but I still diddle my stuff every now and then. My very favorite time of the day is after work drinking beer in the bathtub and listening to music. I've decided to write a few quick tracks specifically for bathtub listening. This is the first! If you listen to this in any setting other than in a bathtub I will be very cross. https://soundcloud.com/cooncooncoon/dempster-12-02-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 a little boards of canada/distant ice cream truck melody-ish I like all the detuning going on although it makes it sound a little sad/disturbing at times I think those little noise bursts need some kind of extra filtering on them lol have you played earthbound btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest binauralbeat Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 i really like the atmosphere here. just enough to keep my attention. nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The sound of the synth is lovely - I might have to creatively 'borrow' the inspiration for a future generative Buzz project (or Ableton if I ever start to learn it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goiter Sanchez Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I understand the utilitarian provisions that are at play here (ie: quickly producing music for the bath) but there are some choice melodic ideas in this piece, and the way you've processed this synth is lovely indeed... Kinda Vacuum Gardenesque near the end with the arching dissonances. Edit it down to the best melodic ideas and add some slow, abstract percussion; you'd have a hell of a track.

marf Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 i sold my Minimoog to pay the plumber. i lived without hot water for 1 year. it took one year for me to break down. i love hot baths. i think it was the right decision. you cant own expensive synths and be poor. youll break down and seel them to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crx091081gb Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 This is some nice synth work, very delicate, I wonder if it might benefit from layering with some filtered field recordings (stuck through a boat load of reverb). Just an idea, perhaps bath noises? Be careful not to use phantom power in the bath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Jan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I liked it! Please make more of this (about an hour and a half!), I'll definitely use it next time bathing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerWaschbar Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks so much for all the feedback guys. I'm sort of exploring a bunch of ideas at the moment with this stuff, some including cutting it up and organizing it for more rhythmic music or extrapolating parts and reprocessing it, but I don't really have the time at the moment to get too deep. I'll keeping making bath tracks tho and I'll upload them in here now and then. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Once again I am really impressed! This is lovely and strange, which are two of my favorite things. Also, I have been taking mad baths lately, so I am in complete sympathy here. They are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've been hooked on long, magma-hot baths for the past 5-6 years. The ritual usually stretches out into a lay-on-the-floor-and-sweat-till-I'm-dry situation. My regular ritual is to listen to the JS Bach pandora station on my iPhone in the dark with only a lit candle. I used to listen to a playlist with Bach, Enya (The Celts), The Congos (Heart of the Congos), Polygon Window (SOSW), My Bloody Valentine, Popol Vuh and some Tuvan throat singing. The new MBV is choice cutz for bathtime. *edit* whoops. just realized this was the "your latest creations" subforum. oh wellz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
