Desolation of The Dreamscape

This track started as an attempt to make something for the Drone Orchestra for April. I used my own presets on the Typhon (Dystope) and the Minilogue xd (Sacred Calls), but I found it didn’t fit the month’s theme of chaos well enough. I set both to F, but the overtones or detuning occasionally made me hear an F#, which gave it an interesting minor vibe that I found entrancing. It fit the theme I have been exploring so I worked to develop it towards inclusion in a future album. I added a simple conga rhythm I made on the Deluge, and recorded the drones and slowly building rhythm while manipulating the knobs on each synth and doing a little live drum solo section. I found it fun to play an exotic scale along to it, so I searched and found a good preset from the Boards of Deluge collection #1 called Sensitive, and recorded that live over the recording of the other parts, and found no need to go in and adjust it. I sculpted the volume envelopes and adjusted volumes of the other parts in Audacity to give it a bit more variation, keep the lead part more audible, and improve flow.
