New Ambience: Bloodgate (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons,

The theme this week was definitely drums and percussion. I've been reading about Euclidean rhythms and how I could use them algorithmically to create interesting polyrhythms. That experiment lead me down a bit of a rabbit hole as I experimented with varying numbers of beats against each other. Naturally, as I think with all polyrhythmic material, I ended up at occult ritual. Maybe I've just got a one-track mind.

The point is, that I thought it was a perfect accompaniment to the Bloodgate Nexus, a series of portals designed to bring vast armies from one location to another. Or something like that. I actually mostly stopped reading after the word 'bloodgate' - as it already sounded so cool. Plus, dimensional portals, gateways, etc are just such a useful and fun story feature that it didn't really matter if I got all the lore right. 

As this track is in sneak-peek mode, I've included the mixed version, as well as 4 additional versions, here for patrons. In addition to the traditional music-only, and ambience-only versions, I've done 2 additional 'no vocal' versions in case you don't want the wizard/chant aspect to your scene. Or, in case you want a version where they've disappeared/haven't shown up yet. In any case, I hope it makes this even more flexible.

Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
