Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Great stereo image and I love the guitars, and the song is really nice. Kind of cinematic (end titles to a lone hero) to my ears = a good thing!
The drums sound a bit canny and static, esp the hihat. "Move" them closer, if possible?

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
It's a nice piece. The production sounds very raw though. I marvelled at the crystal clean guitar tone. Such high frequency content.
Yes, the drums do sound a bit monotonous. Generally that fits the song nicely. The do sound rather roomy though, which is an odd mix, with the guitars so close, almost intimate and clinical.
I agree with oscillator, the song would sit well in the "lone wolf" kind of film.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Thank you for the suggestions! I have moved them a bit closer and recorded room ambience through high-pass filter and mixed them together. Not much of a drummer when it comes to playing them live. The corrected mix is here:oscillator wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:31 pm Great stereo image and I love the guitars, and the song is really nice.

It sounds more integrated now! Thumbs up! (And however bad you are you are better than me.)ambicumber wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 5:21 pm Thank you for the suggestions!

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
I really like this. What are the obvious influences? I'm not really up to speed with post rock aside from Mogwai and Godspeed.
How did you record/process the guitars? They sound really good.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Exactly these two. Wow. What an ear. Being totally into electronic music for the last 15 years (give or take), I too don’t remember much else.
Regarding the guitars - nothing really, no eq fiddling even. Fender Stratocaster directly plugged into Marshall JCM900 tube amp. Microphone via mixer with a bit of Alesis Quadraverb added, recorded through Focusrite Scarlett. Also just a dash of semi-acoustic Yamaha FGX-412 directly through the mixer and panned right.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Haha well I was massively into both of those in the late 90s but I never really followed the scene/genre but both bands' early stuff was a huge influence on me and finds it's way on my tracks all the time even now, Golden Arcadia being a good example, I just love that fast picked high melody (I lump Sonic Youth into this style/sound/technique as well). I remember watching the eclipse in 1999 or something and we went into the countryside and stood outside the car with Mogwai Fear Satan playing really load with a joint each...that album was so good.
Ah the Marshall explains it then. I really struggle to get tones like that from the virtual amps on linux, getting that glassy clean sound seems difficult.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Nice moody feel. The guitar sounds are great but I found the exaggerated click in the kick drum to be distracting.
Interestingly, Soundcloud autoplay popped up Mogwai - San Pedro immediately following your track.
There's a great YouTube channel called "WherePostrockDwells" which has some excellent music. I set it on continuous stream some days. A couple of my favourite bands discovered there are Oh Hiroshima and ISON.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Really nice tune! I know very little of post-rock, though, so I'm afraid the "obvious" influences are not so obvious to me...

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
It's a very nice tone for clean guitars. The vibrato adds a nice touch as well. This was really pleasant to listen toambicumber wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 3:08 pm Regarding the guitars - nothing really, no eq fiddling even.

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
I too like the guitar tone. Did you use a hard pick and/or picked at an angle?

Re: Una piccola astronave - Entangled
Sorry to be over a month late on this thread, but I couldn't pass by such a nice guitar tune without saying how much I enjoyed it. I have never heard of those bands, but I like this sound. the dissonant chords in the main riff are fantastic. The double picking towards the end of the piece is really effective. I would have liked some heavier compression on the guitars, but that's maybe not the sound you were going for.
