Fields (A4)

100% Analog Four track.
Some compression afterward.

Working on stepping outside of my usual sonic space and working more on sound field. High arp synth somewhat inspired by Zimmer’s work on the Interstellar film score.

Really cool piece. 1 take from A4 or multi tracked in a DAW? Sounds like there’s more going on than the polyphony could handle, but I’ve been surprised before. How many A4 tracks for the drums?

Thanks.
1 take. No multitrack.

The kick, claps, and hat in the beginning is on track 1
The reverbed hats that come in soon after are on track 2.
When you hear other percussion (Tom, cymbal) later, that is also in track 2 with those sounds replacing some hats.
Bass and Arp on their own tracks as well.
Loads of performance assignments to make the hats varied and evolving.

I’ll do another take multitrack with overbridge so that I can spend more time on the mix.
The arp gets a bit too present when it pitches up.

Really nice work Adam, funky beat and that brutal distorted arp is great!
