Imago Dei
https://alandmoore.bandcamp.com/track/imago-dei
This is my first mix on my iLoud micros, and my first project since upgrading to Ardour6. I did have to put up with a lot of crashing, but overall I feel the workflow improved a bit.
Lots of layered percussion in this one, and I had to balance the low end between the Cajon's kick, the bass guitar, and bodhran-type sound that I got from whopping a plastic chair with the flat of my hand.

Re: Imago Dei
Hi!
Beautiful work Alan! I also have iLoud Micros for my house/dev computer and they are phenomenal for the money, much better than many other larger speakers (looking at you M-Audio) that purport to be pro monitors.
You lyrics and singing are great as always, you have a gift on both fronts. A great mixture of atmospheric synths and acoustic guitars 'and a great 'epic' sound to go along with the metaphysical/spiritual-themed material. Very well done!

Re: Imago Dei
Thanks!
Actually I didn't have any synths on this, just layers of guitar and ebow guitar. It does sound very synth-y though, doesn't it?

Re: Imago Dei
I like this song (can't judge the lyrics, since I don't really listen to the text anyway).
I was about to ask what the instrument was that plays in the intro together with the didgeridoo...lykwydchykyn wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 3:15 am Actually I didn't have any synths on this, just layers of guitar and ebow guitar.

Re: Imago Dei
I think this is truly amazing! I loved the percussion, the guitar playing but above all the vocals. Great composition, great sound, great lyrics.

Re: Imago Dei
Hey, that's really great!! Music wise and mixing wise. The beginning reminded me on a SUNN O))) track later it reminds me on WOVEN HAND (but this could be because of the lyrics). I had the iLoud MTMs here for some days, but the calibration couldn't correct my room. I bought Sonarworks now (which works perfectly in Linux except of the measuring part) and might upgrade my speakers in the next months.

Re: Imago Dei
WOW. This is really great, I like it a lot. Just writing after a first listen on a tablet, but I'm sure I'll re-listen many times.
Who I felt reminded of, was the guitar - percussion duo Steve Tibetts & Marc Anderson. In the unlikely case that you never heard of them, I'm pretty sure you'd find them inspiring.
Thanks a real lot for sharing this work!

Re: Imago Dei
Wow! I am a fan of your stuff. This is a strong composition with powerful lyrics. I very much enjoyed listening to the whole thing twice, and I think I will keep coming back for more.
