Corey Hunter ☼ Winter's Promise [Gothic / Shoegaze]

Hello everybody : )

This is my latest performance piece, influenced by all things Gothic and Shoegaze. I used Reaper to record everything, running the SG through my Tone Port. The drum loop is very simple, bringing to mind early Dead Can Dance / Cocteau Twins. Instead of using a bass guitar, I instead opted for a virtual synth, which sounds rather nice, I think.

@Fear2Goth The chorus is set to 1.3hz. The depth is 50%. Reverb is hall and lot's used. Delay mix is low with about 30% feedback. Bass=5, Mids=7, Treble=7.

[Fear2Goth]

like mid 5 n chorus 6 n stuff for a example.

Pretty cool thanks. I get a lot out of your video's and music and sometimes improvise at home with some acoustic versions :)

@gsogoz Hi Corey sorry about the late reply. Love under Will is great and yes those guitars are great. Here are the songs I would reference for their guitars. The Mission-Deliverance, Fields of the Nephilim Moonchild or Love under Will. The Sisters of Mercy- Walk away. The Sisters of Mercy- Poison Door. These are classic examples of Gothic swirling guitar.

@Stevethesearcher I find myself using a combination of both techniques. One of my favorite riffs of all time is Love Under Will by Fields of the Nephilim. To me, it's a perfect representation of that style of playing, because you can change the scale tones on the higher strings whilst keeping a basic chord shape on the lower strings. Is that the sort of idea you're thinking off when you talk about swirling?

[Stevethesearcher]

Hey Corey great stuff. A question springs to mind. In Gothic swirling guitar are chords being arpeggiated or are scales being played to create that circular swirling effect. From what I have gathered so far I know how you create the tone. I am pretty sure you are generally using the Natural minor scale. However I am not sure how the circular swirling rhythm is being played.
