A Path Through Fragile Harmonics (disquiet0528)

Created Friday 11th February 2022 by DD For this challenge: Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora. I stared by writing a simple but quite precise chord progression with voicings and all (A-A-B+Coda), and recorded that on 3 electric bass tracks performing artificial harmonics, a 4th melodic bass track using a volume pedal, and a 5th track of normal bass notes. Glued it with an analogue synth pad. To walk unobstructive through that full and chatty bed of bass guitar notes I used a Melodica line, performed on the higher register and recorded using my ribbon microphone to grab as much room sound and less attack as possible, avoiding to interfere with the sparkling, ping-ponging bell-like harmonics.
