Dayglow

Written & recorded by Ross Cooper.

1/22/08 Update: I just put a new version of this track out. Click above to hear it. My Ableton 7 discs finally arrived so I could use the EIC sample library to add a whole new acoustic middle section to the song! This is kinda how I imagined it in the first place but didn't have the sounds... until now.

About: This track is a bit more upbeat than City of Apes, as I was trying to make something a bit more danceable. Again all the sounds I created from the waveform up except for the drums (Ableton's Drum Machines) and the lead sound, which uses Ableton's Tension modeling synth.

FYI: I learnt some cool new tricks for adding an Exciter like effect this time around, so I re-mixed City of Apes with it too. it doesn't sound incredibly different, but does a nice top-end shine and a little separation which makes the vocal samples easier to understand. If you'd already downloaded that track before today, you may want to go get it again! :-)
