New Music And Video From Steaming Mulch – ‘Fix The Less Acting Compound’

We have a new video and song from Velvet Wrinkle Wreckerds band Steaming Mulch. As always, we had another series of fun studio sessions. This tune was built starting with two bass parts. They’re almost identical as far the actual bass line, but if you listen, there are subtle differences that extend beyond the effects that are added. As usual, Steaming Mulch came in with basic ideas that change and expand as the song is created. In this song the bass lines have subtle differences because the effects drive the the way the notes are played. This can happen with any instrument that has effects added. If you add heavy distortion and let notes ring, they may blur in to each other. This may cause the player to ‘dead string’ notes so they don’t run in to each other. Or, you may want them to run in to each other. The point is, adding effects such as reverb, echo or distortion starts a branch of different choices. There are two guitars that have been panned to be in separate stereo channels. A couple of vocal tracks are added that act more as instruments than standard vocal tracks. Several drum tracks are mixed together to create the differing drum parts you hear through out the song. And of course we created a video ‘visualizer’ that tracks along with the song. I always enjoy being able to test out different video effects when working on Steaming Mulch videos. You can take the simplest video scene and make it look other worldly. Hope you enjoy it while we’re planning the next visual and audio assault.
