As you can see, this is a simpler track, with only 4 instruments.Did this last night,
it's a pretty simple song, just 4 instruments in total, and one is almost not audible. I originally had added a few more, but they didn't fit with the noise of the others, it just seemed a little too random, so I decided to leave it as is. I actually really like this, it could work as a filler track between real songs on an album or something; very noisey and weird, but still has a general harmony.
Listen to UVB-76 here.
Instrument 1 is just
a synth from some pack I downloaded a while back. That's where the radio hiss and the swirling beeping thing are coming from. It's basically playing a low C the whole time, then an Eb and F come in over it (Fmin7) and then a G on the top. You can see the progression below, it's not super obvious in the track cause of the phaser changes that are causing the beeping to come in and out, just sort of adds to the noisey ambience of the whole thing.
You can see what Tracks 1, 2 and 3 are doing in this image.
You can see what Tracks 1, 2 and 3 are doing in this image.Track 2 is the heavily
distorted synth that provides all the main melody and harmony. You can see above that we are in C minor, and basically just stay in key, doing a little ascending/descending arpeggio stuff until the end, where we hold Ab (Vi), Bb (Vii), and C. Because of the effects on this track, particularly the flanger I used, it is SUPER buzzy and noisey. I really liked how it fit over the first track, worked out nicely.

Track 3 is a bass
sort of tone, sounds like a wobbling metal string or something. I just copyPasta'ed the midi from Track 2 into this one, but also sidechained it to Track 2, so when the buzzy synth begins to fade out or drop in volume, Track 3 seems to wobble in a little more. It gives a percussive sort of feel to everything too, just from the metallic sort of sound to this instrument.
Track 4, described below.
Track 4, described below.Track 4 is the only track
that isn't super obvious and loud and in your face. It plays a staccato, simple rhythm, pictured above. This track is a piano sound, but with some bitcrusher added, a flanger, and some weird reverb I set up. It just adds a little dingy, creepy melody in the background, that is there if you listen for it, but otherwise just sort of blends into everything else happening.
That's all for this one, hope you guys enjoy the cacophony! Thanks for the support as always!
