Uboa - Footscray Park (pt. 1)
Added 2024-10-16 13:02:18 +0000 UTCHere is another song for the same thing as Banksia Grave, likely the first song on the record/ep/whatever. Using a VST based on the Federation Bells for the first half, and my home piano for the second half. It's sad, and noisey and very much a "typical Uboa song." Predominantly made in bed with Health Issues, however I finally gained enough strength to finish it in my home studio. Feels similar to Detransitioning in vibe and structure.
The federation bells use just tuning (fundamental note being D, or 73hz) while the rest of the instrumentation uses just standard 12 EDO in D minor. Because they share the D note, they cohere quite a bit more than I expected.
Named after the park in my suburb, which is a beautiful Edwardian park near the Maribyrnong River, which is basically on swampland.
Sorry for less posts, but again, health issues and looong wait lists for specialists.

Footscray Park (pt. 1)
Hide under the blankets
Its irrelevant
If they are clean
Its more important
You convince yourself
You’re safe
Its irrelevant
If you are not
And none of us are
I miss the flowers of Footscray park
Let the sun pick which one you are
Let the swamp reclaim the pristine garden
And for your body to be another’s burden
Isn’t the river beautiful?
Comments
the drowned out, distorted (??) vocals around 3 minutes in are absolutely fucking incredible

2024-10-16 19:16:44 +0000 UTCthey sound wonderful both as a VST (and ableton sampler, which is the one I actually use, don't worry later versions than 8 can use it) as well as real life. you can download the VST for yourself here, and you can even compose for the bells using MIDI - which are then played on location. http://federationbells.com.au/play-the-bells/composing-for-the-bells
