[industrial techno/experimental electronic/ambient/field recordings] whitegold&monolith: In The American Fields
Posted: 08 Mar 2024
Hi, so this is the result of a recording project I've been working on for almost half a year, including nearly a month of just mixing and engineering. If the last thing I posted was my Beyond the Valley of the Dolls then this is like Tarkovsky's Stalker.
I only used hardware synths and drum machines though the effects are REs, the samples are mostly snippets of random YouTube videos, and I mainly used room tones and field recordings I made myself from around either my house in Wellington or in central Auckland although some are from https://freesound.org/. Here's a list of the synths I used if you want to nerd out:
Moog: Mother 32, Subharmonicon, DFAM, Matriarch.
Roland: SH4-D.
Arturia: Microfreak, Minibrute 2 S, Drumbrute Impact.
Waldorf: Blofeld.
ASM: Hydrasynth.
Behringer: Model 55, Neutron, Wasp, ARP 2600 Blue Marvin.
Korg: MS-20, Monologue.
Dreadbox: Typhon.
It's long, and it's quite dark. I deliberately made it quite low end heavy so play it with a sub bass if you have one, although it sounds pretty good on headphones. I dunno, I guess because has like dominated my life for the last while I'm really proud of it, so hopefully other people will invest some time in listening to it and enjoy it too.
