obra_de_arte, in Stargazer

This is a really deep, contemplative yet vibey composition, I'm also sorry to hear about the loss your friend.

@obra_de_arte - Thanks - he was a good guy with a big heart before the addiction twisted him. At the end, I think he decided to go to keep himself from hurting anyone else - his mind was slipping and he was struggling to keep control after several violent episodes.

Fuck meth. I miss you, Mark.

obra_de_arte,

That is really rough. I am glad you were able to put that piece together to honor him though.

I quite enjoyed that.

You make them constituent sounds or they samples?

obra_de_arte,

Thanks! All of it is original composition. I do use samples in some of my music, but this one has no samples.

So there was a finger on some vibrating metal making that whining or am I overthinking this and you used an electronic keyboard?

obra_de_arte,

I assume you mean the sound that appears at 1:04 and will repeat during later bars. Yes, that is via electronic keyboard and specific "soundfont" or "tone". Everything in this song was either done with an electronic/midi keyboard or a live guitar. No samples from other songs were used.

No, I meant the whining that sounds like a guitar that starts at :03 and doesn't stop rocking.

obra_de_arte,

Guitar does come in at :03. I think maybe that's what you're talking about...although piano is present throughout too. I've not really uploaded a video to Youtube before (so I hope this works)...but I deconstructed the song so you can kinda see the different parts in my workstation. Link below.

obra_de_arte, in "Telescope for Sound" - In the interest of getting things going, here's a short, synthwave-y music video I made. SHARE YOUR MUSIC!

Super trippy and goes perfectly with the video. That's cool stuff.

Very chill. It's super cool--I liked it/followed you on Soundcloud. My most recent is called "Music for Staring Out a Train Window" and has a kinda similar feel to it.

obra_de_arte,

Thanks! Much appreciated. I also followed you on Youtube. That's a cool vibe. I really like mellow, contemplative tracks like that.

Thanks! What are you using to record? Are you on PC?

obra_de_arte,

Yep! I have a midi keyboard that I use for most of the melody and percussion. I have a Focusrite Scarlett that I use to plug in my guitar and/or bass guitar to record live. All tracks are recorded through the DAW I use (Mixcraft).
