Halloween Song

All human work

All CCMixter or Freesound.org sounds… or me scratching them.

All Freesound.org sounds are Creative Commons Zero, to make this easy. (with one noted exception)

I started with the idea of a Silent Hill tribute. In this song you hear a protagonist get plunged into the darkness twice, run out of ammo and… well…

…I started with “Harsh” by Wakeproject” and went from there. Harsh was an unused beat element and I prefer those.

My next addition was the field recording from SpinningMerkaba, slowed way down and the “beeps” were removed from it since they did not sound scary even slow… the field recording is over the whole track.

“A vibe” from MWIC” was added next. You can hear it broken up through most of the song.

The second to “last” thing was Speck’s bassline, which lasts from the start of the song till almost two minutes in.

Why I say “last” is because “last” was all of these Freesound samples. (one moment)

Have a great day dear friends

In the streets the echoes of better times can sometimes be heard amongst the hard fought spaces we struggle to hold onto.

Some pitch adjustments and rephrasing to make the pieces fit

Nigredo Alchemical

Dark shadows unexpressed

Some memories need to decompose

Compost nurtures growth through death

Discomfort with uncertainty

Fear about what I cannot see

My dreams have not been with me

Dark enveloping

Sense the breakdown as things begin to change

Holding fast

It won’t always feel this way

In the dark see what we can create

a moment in time

In this process of transformation

Periods of degradation

Structures crumble to ash and dust

Rhythms stop then speed up

What we think is not enough

Sense the breakdown as things begin to change

Holding fast

It won’t always feel this way

In the dark see what we can create

A moment in time

The pressure is deep

Reshaping how I think

Something emergent

As earth shifts and sinks

Life’s light starting in the dark

Burst through The zinc spark

Sense the breakdown as things begin to change

Holding fast

It won’t always feel this way

In the dark see what we can create

It’s just a moment in time

Added fretless bass to Javo’s Chilly Morning Groove (repeated once).
