Blavatsky - New Low - Brand new 13 song album on Bandcamp

blavatsky · **Joined:** Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:35 pm **Posts:** 708

Hey guys - haven't been on here like I used to but glad to see the forums are still banging...here is an album I've been working on (well off and on) for a couple years. Been super busy but finally finished something :mrgreen:

https://blavatsky.bandcamp.com/album/new-low

Quote:

After a nearly two year hiatus, Blavatsky is back with a new batch of dark groove
laden tracks full of dusty booms and guttutral synths. Both a return to form and an evolved
sound come together in these lucky 13 tracks, with plenty of lo-fi samples and head nodding
rhthyms.

The SP-centric tracks are Jersey Devil, Dawn of the Cyborgs, Clockwork Automaton, Buddha Fist, Wildflower,
and Big Monster.

I have a very limited online/social media presence but if anyone has advice of other blogs/places to post
this I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd love to collaborate with other artists as well as possibly do
soundtrack/game work in the future; PM me

Dope work! I really enjoyed some of the vocal samples you used throughout this project. My favourite tracks were Electric Hippie, Gumshoe, and Clockwork Automation, and Big Monster!

BTW I got the chance to visit Asheville for my first time this past summer. What a great city! So many amazing breweries, great restaurants, good record stores, and MOOG! Plus the beautiful mountains and Sierra Nevada right next door. I can't wait to go back!

Cool man, glad you got to visit my hometown! It's a cool place if you can find work and afford the cost of living :mrgreen:

...kinda like a southern version of San Francisco or Portland. Lots and lots of talented folks here....oh and getting to see the Moog factory/workshop is humbling for an electronic music nerd

The brain of the studio is definitely the roland MV8800 - beast mode all day, I barely scratch the surface of what it can do. Other gear includes:
Alesis Fusion, Juno 106, Moog SubPhatty, Arturia MiniBrute, Boss RC-505, Elektron A4, Eventide TimeFactor, OTO Biscuit, WET reverb, M-Audio Venom, Kaoss pads, SP404sx

You got a Moog Sub Phatty? I'm so jealous. I'd love to get my hands on one. But they go for big loot. I'd have to go homeless for a month or two to afford one.

The beat piece of gear I own is my SampleTrak, bought off Blav.
I never could find one of those around.
I get my hands on a 303 and my setup is complete.

Glad to hear the sampletrak is getting some use! I could not wrap my head around it very well but i've heard guys do great things with it :mrgreen:

Yeah I recommend the subphatty - I basically sold a minibrute and a bass station II to buy it (deal was too good to pass, around $600)
