Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Recorded this about a half hour ago. Heavy use of the Boss SY-1, with some Matryoshka and other stuff thrown in, as per the photo of my rat's nest pedalboard.

All done in one take using the Westone Spectrum GT bass.

I like the rat board!!
Shows that you try stuff and use it.

Nice work.

The sy 1 is on my spectrum "pun intended" ...but i cant afford one atm.
Seems cool pedal to layer multiple tracks.

OK , my turn to share something.
Short noise « thing » sample.....meant for the band to use during the live set. Like the previous album, we want to play it in one whole non stop set. (if anyone wants the 1st album its free on bandcamp and I can share the link again)
Can be further manipulated live with the FX board.

(yes the final scream at the end is intended to have a massive volume spike, sorry ears.... :)

Cheers

Here you go. I chop every sample and stuff.

I play a dual rig bass "guitar" set up
Singer does sound manipulation of said samples.
Drummer....well....he drums

All taped live. No punch no edits.

Catalepsy, by Sedmi

We got 5 songs for the next one done.

I'm behind on listening to the posted tracks. I'll catch up soon.

I'm zoomed in on the track I'm working on, and I've fallen behind on other things, including Bass Fitness practice.

But one thing I learned for the music side. Don't force it. Sometimes I had plans to work on stuff and by the time I get there I'm too tired and end up listening to records.

i'm gonna differ from you a bit on this. i think it's important to have a routine where you devote time (could just be 30 minutes) to whatever you're working on. you may come up with nothing or you may hit a hot streak. (i'm mindful of writers who get up every day and write at 5:00 a.m. . . . they may not always produce some they like, but they keep their process alive . . . )

Good point.
 
Awesome album, mixed some genres really well and made something unpidgeonholable. I should spend more time in this thread.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Yep, it's a big melting pot of all sorts of stuff. All three of us like so many different branches in the huge music tree.
Even we have a hard time telling what we do......
