Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Hello I have a new best buddy, his name is Borderlands granular.
He is gonna help me make even more "nonsense".

With a splitter, this thing is straight up nuts, live recording and improv FTW!!!!
Already busted out a few recordings.
The other granular app that gets a lot of props...

Here's a new one I did a few weeks ago. The mallet stuff is a combination of me tweaking patterns in real time on the TR-8S, and there's also a wavestate patch in there doing a polyrhythm with the same sound. The plinky thing is the Virus, and the ambient pad thing is... I can't remember, as my DAW isn't open... it's either Virus or Wavestate. Enjoy.

Yeah, I mean, how many bands can touch FDQFP13? Not even Zepp or the Beatles.

Seriously. Zeppelin & Beatles combined have less time on my stereo than FDQFP13. The box set is totally worth it. It’s fun to hear the raw songs that got reworked and later used by Wednesday 13 and/or Murderdolls. The movie dialogue samples they grabbed are also pretty wild.

Dammit, way to ruin my smartass comment with seriousness.
:woot:

Interesting. I know you'll hate me for this, but it reminds me of 80s Tangerine Dream soundtrack stuff. :)
 
Well, I played a lot of computer games in the 90s and when I was younger we played Atari 2600 console games and 80s arcade games to death so I get it to some degree. Not really my go to for listening pleasure at the moment, though.
I was raised on all of that stuff, too, but the nostalgia isn't so strong that I need to incorporate it into my listening. I remember, even back then, thinking about how crappy the sounds and especially music were in those games.

Just ranting. Gonna go do some sound design on the Iridium, now.
 
Here is one of the improvs I did with Borderlands Granular and an analog synth.
100% improvisation, no preset anything in the app, recorded samples as I went.
More "nonsense"......but fun as heck to do.
I think this set up has plenty of potential.

Disclaimer: sit down first, you may get dizzy headed and/or pass out.
