stream the original song ’Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus’ at
recorded, mixed, and filmed by me
drum library vst: Modern & Massive (GetGood Drums)
guitar plugin: Archetype: Nolly (Neural DSP)
bass plugin: Parallax (Neural DSP)
keyboard and synth vsts: LABS instruments & default logic synths/keyboards
all performances were pre-recorded with the exception of the 3 guitar solos which i wanted to be real one-take filmed performances
(all the pedal effects were done in post-production with the default logic pro digital pedals, and the MISHBY glitch plugin by Freakshow Industries)
and yes, i added the second movement of the TMV single ’Frances The Mute’ originally meant for the same album at the end because i thought it worked so well, and that section is absolutely fantastic. it took me 3 and a half hours to copy all the guitar nearly exactly because its so improvised and random
i wanted to put my own take on this song while keeping it still extremely accurate and true to the original, so much that i isolated each instrument into separate audio files using a website, and tried to copy exactly what i liked about each part
(mostly the drums, it took me a whole day to draw them out in midi, i dont even wanna talk about what it was like mapping out the crazier time signature sorcery sections, jon theodore is a beast)
all music originally written by Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala
