Lexical_Whale Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I love it! Is that wooden controller on the floor synced for the video? Thanks There's actually a second very similar controller just out of shot that our bassist is using to control the video changes. I'm using the one you can see in a lot of the shots to trigger the mellotron string chords via Ableton Live. We call them WILLIAM and WALLACE but I can't quite remember what those are acronyms for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexical_Whale Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Reminds me a lot of Porcupine Tree's song Kneel and Disconnect for some reason I like it! Thanks. Never really listened to Porcupine Tree despite frequent recommendations so checking them out now. Very Nice! Have you got a link to some more music by you guys? I'd love to hear some other stuff Cheers. Here's a with our other Live Sessions videos. Hopefully if you liked that song then "Light Up Berlin" in particular should be right up your street. We also have a Bandcamp page where you can stream our studio EP/demo and the best way to keep up to date with any new tracks or videos is at our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/projectwicket. Think that covers everything Thanks for listening guys, really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/l0ngan/never-there[/soundcloud] Heres a track I wrote and recorded in 24 hours. I'm really happy with it and I love to here what you guys think of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 So, I just finished my finals a few days ago, and this kinda feels like the kind of track I should be making right now. Something along the lines of Groove Armada's By The River, but with Audrey Hepburn. [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/twicx/audrey-hephopburn-wip[/soundcloud] Idk, I think it needs a good string bit to it. I'd love to know how to use something like one of the NI String plugins, but I wouldn't know which is the best one to go for, or if there's a better string plugin.

I've used a fair few String plugins with varying results; never got anything sounding as warm and natural as recording the real thing but definitely not bad. Check out NI 'Session Strings'. Really good for more contemporary and pop stuff rather than classical and it has some really cool soul/Motown style sounds that could work really well with this sort of thing.

I'll give it a look. I think if i can get something kinda orchestral and then put a sort of subtle vibrato effect on it to make it sound like an old slightly-warped record, I'd be happy with that. Possibly a little piano thrown in for good measure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacekeeper_ Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 /Forest Fires/ (I don't know how to embed Soundcloud :S) A little thing my band did in a day. We just wanted to get something out there for people to listen to. It's a bit different from what we usually do, but we like it. Samples are from an old Canadian forest fire Public Information Film and an American Emergency Broadcast System warning if anyone was remotely interested.

Lexical_Whale Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Found time in between making the Live Sessions videos to finish off a new studio track. Really pleased with how it came out, definitely a step up in terms of production compared to the demo.
