[LAU] [Music] Horror prog: Spiral Torso Op

[Q]

Hello

I got a new synth in December and thought I'd do a short piece to get to 
grips with it and put it through its paces. You can find it here:

I set myself the limitation that it would be the only synth/keyboard 
instrument used (wot, no Mellotron?!), so everything other than drums, 
percussion, acoustic 12-string and electric 6- and 12-string is just 
this one synth. It was also the first outing for my electric 12-string, 
which came out nicely.

It was an interesting challenge, especially trying to wrangle a range of 
sounds out of the synth, as it is non-programmable and monophonic, so a 
huge amount of multi-tracking and layering was needed.

The piece has turned out a completely different way to what I was 
expecting before I set out, ending up with a bit of a Goblin horror 
soundtrack vibe, so I gave it an appropriate (and also slightly topical) 
title.

Recorded, mixed and mastered in Ardour 3.

Cheers
