The Dream of Allan Gray

- This is a single DB-01 drone track recorded exactly as you see it with no editing. Nor have any effects, compression, EQ or limiting etc been added in the DAW (other than the sci-fi movie talk samples). The DB-01 is running into the Light pedal on feedback mode. (Thanks to @aopaul for suggesting turning down the dry level which has entirely solved the noise issue into the Rat). From there it goes into the Rat, and then into the Shift Line Astronaut for some modulated stereo reverb.
A very slow LFO on the DB-01 opens the filter enough to better activate the feedback on the Light pedal which gives the periods of relative peace and intensity. The DB-01 is also on random playback with a handful of notes on bar 1 and the other three bars empty. The Astronaut pedal has a very slow modulating octave shift in the reverb and the Light pedal has a very slow shift in which optical sensor pair is active. All these slow modulations deliver the needed variation.
The old video is all from "Vampyr", a 1932 Danish-German horror movie. That's combined, somewhat oddly perhaps, with audio samples from the 1953 sci-fi classic "It Came From Outer Space". It wasn't hard to find the good bits in that since I first sampled it way back in the day on my old EPS. We even had a song in our live set which used one of the quotes from the movie as it's main hook "Our mission was to another world". Good days. Of course I couldn't re-use that same sample here :D
The title of this video comes from the original full title of the Vampyr movie: "Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Gray" or in English, "The Dream of Allan Gray".

Love this! Had to comment again about your black & white Cult Film Art Piece. You've created a Drone Soundscape that fits your images perfectly! I can't stop watching and listening to this! That slowed down voice is full of dystopian distortion. Those awkward camera angles and haunted expressions on everyone's face feeds well to the imbalanced state of one's mind. Mysterious faces, is this really happening?
BRÁVO 🎉~
Greetings Eleni, most kind of you to comment again. This stuff isn't for everyone, I knew it wouldn't be very popular, but perhaps like you I felt the imagery has a beautiful strangeness and the randomized dronescape seemed to match that unease. These old movies from almost a century ago sometimes have techniques and angles that feel very fresh. Silent movies especially had to 'say' a lot more in creative low-budget visual ideas.
"This is very dark stuff. Very dark indeed. It is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom?"😱⚰ Love the RAT pedal, I should dig mine out. Nice work, Richard!
Am very impressed with the Rat considering how cheap and simple it is. Great form factor too.
Fantastic. Heavy and dark as Hell.
Thanks NE. I think we could be on a compilation together with your excellent Roy&Pris track :) ruclips.net/video/WWvIn_kJslw/видео.html
Of all my synthysiser, is the bassline my most loved peace of gear!
Agreed! And so much more than a simple bass machine.
MAGIC !!!!
Wow that movie looks scary, and I am sure (never seen the original) much more scary with your drone. Nice work Richard ❤
Vampyr 1932. The cinematography is brilliant and all the actors are one-time amateurs. It's basically a silent-movie feel even though there is a minimal synced soundtrack. Well worth a watch.
@@RichardDeHoveThanks, I will look it up.
😮❤❤❤!!!
Great stuff! The only thing I'm missing - visually and acoustically - is a Rainbow Machine. ;)
My daughter has suggested this pedal several times. I'm resisting :)
Well done Richard, well done!!!
Thanks. I know it's a bit obscure for many peoples taste - 14 minutes of generative droney grind - but it felt quite moody to me.
@@RichardDeHove good stuff!
So cool \m/
Na, das ist doch wieder mal ein brachial dreckig-guter score ! Ton und Bild jubilieren. 🙂
