This was fun. I was playing around with reverb settings and thought I’d try out some synth sounds with over-the-top reverb, then hit upon this sound that immediately made me think of Rave music (official disclaimer: for the anoraks out there, I don’t really care whether ‘Rave’ is the correct term but it’s a convenient label for this purpose).
I found a drum loop to back up the initial riff and then added some 4-to-the-floor bass (kick) drum to give it that full-on impact. I then applied some heavy distortion to a different synth patch and the results are as you can hear. I deliberately squashed the living daylights out of the mix with limiter and compression, so that the various parts seem to be fighting for attention - and to heighten the overall sense of energy and distortion.
There seems to be a natural set of scales within me that tips up if I go too far in any one direction. So, having done quite a few pieces recently that were carefully constructed, I had a strong urge this time to just make some noise. And why not?
