Mmm, here we are, round four, and admittedly suffering from a bit of burnout. I don't usually work at this pace, so forgive me if the quality of my work suffers a little.

So I was messing around with a flanger effect, and I stumbled upon this odd bubbling sound, which you can hear in the intro and throughout most of the song (if it's not too quiet, that is). I thought, "Damn, that sounds like a frothing cauldron or something of the sort."

This song accidentally ended up being semi-Halloween themed, but wouldn't you know it, the deadline had to be November 4th. Bad timing, yeesh. Well, just try to picture some witches or dark sorcerers brewing up trouble, via an ancient spell or what have you. I feel like this track has some neat parts that might be classified as "flowing" or "creepy" -- the Halloween connection came to me pretty quickly, to be honest.

Now, if all witchcraft could be this funky fresh...

...wait, what the hell does that mean...whatever...lol

My apologies to jpbear, who pointed out last round that I have a bad habit of simply picking a new instrument to perform a solo when I run out of ideas, which is exactly what I did here. I need to work on varying my song structure later, when I'm not feeling so overwhelmed by all this producing.

I tried leaving more things panned closer to center this time, and letting the reverb and delays fill up the side space. Let me know how that turned out, if you get the chance.

My main problem with this piece is that the stupid little high buzzing sound that usually shows up in my tracks is probably a little more evident in the intro and outro than normal. What causes this is my method of recording my keyboard through my external audio interface. I'm going to try and see if I can fix that soon.

This is my fourth round entry for NGADM '11.
