Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: Tear

Tear

It rained today here in Tokyo, where the SONICWARE office is located.
The atmosphere was just right, so I jammed on the LIVEN Evoke with rain and a post-classical mood in mind.

I think I managed to capture the feeling of a calm, structured bowing pattern on the violin quite naturally.
This was achieved by setting longer gate times for the violin, creating a smooth and sustained bowing expression.
The bass line is played on contrabass.
The piano has a subtle touch of GRAIN FX, adding delicate, shimmering high-end grains that color the space gently.
One more track was dedicated entirely to noise, helping to create a sense of space with depth—like a quiet rainfall.

今日、SONICWAREのオフィスのある東京は雨が降っており、良い感じの雰囲気だったので、雨を背景にポストクラシカルなJamをLIVEN Evokeでしてみました。
バイオリンの整然とした弓の運びのリフレインが自然な感じに再現できたと思います。
これは、バイオリンのゲートタイムを長めに設定することで、滑らかで余韻のある弓の動きを実現してます。
ベースラインはコントラバスでつくりました。
ピアノに少しGRAIN FXをかけ、繊細な高域のグレインを散らすように加えて空間を彩りました。
また、1トラックはノイズ専用にして、雨のような雰囲気で奥行きのある空間をつくっております。
