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

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: FLAC (36.7 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.flac OGG (14.9 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.ogg MP3 (12.6 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.mp3 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 Q
