Boy uh... this was something. I experimented a LOT with glitches, delays, weird detuning, granular synthesis... This thing is weird and crazy.

All instruments synthesized with Omnisphere aside from the drums and the piano, which was provided by my friend camoshark aka ExSilencio. I got the piano and just started messing with it until it sounded cool and then this happened.

May not be your cup of tea. It was a lot of fun for me though, and strongly inspired by my recent exploration of the artist Yayayi. Makes stuff way more on its own wavelength than what I just did (and you'll hear the influence if you've listened to him).

This track is available for free download at bandcamp here: https://skyewint.bandcamp.com/track/quan-tum-super-pos-ti-tion

Produced on Twitch today and a week ago. If you'd like me to mess with something you've made, feel free to drop by and shoot me a track on Discord so I can feature you. The link to my Twitch and also my Discord are available on my profile.

I've listened to this many times since I found it and I love it :)

Ever since "Cranial," I've been looking forward to another collab from you two. The staticky atmosphere at the beginning and the slightly cryptic piano chords complement each other well. The eerie synths and minimal drums are great, too. Also, what the hell did you do to that organ at 1:25? Lol. I like how the piece resets itself at 1:50 before launching into an even glitchier section. My favorite part of the piece is the layering of the different chordal riffs at 2:55 - gives me goosebumps every time I replay it. The melodies at 3:20 or so totally hit the piece home, too. Even though the piece is really minimal at times, and also could use some more harmonic variety, the generous use of detuning and glitches totally makes up for that and then some. This piece is awesome and you should both feel awesome. I'm giving this a "just weird enough" out of 10. Happy 2022! ^_^

Happy 2022, friend!

This was a pretty quick smack together over about 8 hours on stream, sadly I didn't quite have enough time to play too much with harmony (that and the piano sample didn't have too many harmonies I could make cyclic chord progressions with!) or it would be a LOT crazier. I did definitely want to play with a lot of detuning and weird glitchiness though.

The 'organ' starting around 1:25 is actually two detuned sine waves (they actually detune in opposite directions too, making for some REALLY crazy dissonant harmonies even in the same note, while remaining vaguely identifiable as the same note. One also has some ring modulation and the other has some waveshaping to give it a bit of extra character. It was super fun to make lol

Interestingly, the chords starting at 0:55 or so are actually the piano that's been playing since the very start! But, it's run through a granular synthesis plugin controlled by midi data to make chords that... mostly have an automated rhythm? Makes for a really crazy texture as you can hear! The percussion is also absolute nuts, I have so many glitch plugins on it creating all the weird little alterations when it's mostly just straightforward rhythms at the basis. Great example of that is the high hat starting at 1:52, if you pay attention to it it's doing all kinds of crazy stupid stuff.

Thank you so much for the review, friend!

This is really unique love it

SkyeWint responds:

Hey, thanks!

I've been really enjoying experimenting with weird and crazy stuff lately, it was super fun to make too!

I love the weirdness of this :D!
Just a really chill track to listen to.

SkyeWint responds:

Heeeey! Yeah, it was super super fun. Heavily inspired by an even *weirder* album by Yayayi, which actively sounds like it's from another dimension or something. Crazy vibes.

I'm glad you like it too! If it's chill for ya, that's good enough for me! ^____^
