The Mars Volta - Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus (cover)

stream the original song ’Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus’ at recorded, mixed, and filmed by me drum library vst: Modern & Massive (GetGood Drums) guitar plugin: Archetype: Nolly (Neural DSP) bass plugin: Parallax (Neural DSP) keyboard and synth vsts: LABS instruments & default logic synths/keyboards all performances were pre-recorded with the exception of the 3 guitar solos which i wanted to be real one-take filmed performances (all the pedal effects were done in post-production with the default logic pro digital pedals, and the MISHBY glitch plugin by Freakshow Industries) and yes, i added the second movement of the TMV single ’Frances The Mute’ originally meant for the same album at the end because i thought it worked so well, and that section is absolutely fantastic. it took me 3 and a half hours to copy all the guitar nearly exactly because its so improvised and random i wanted to put my own take on this song while keeping it still extremely accurate and true to the original, so much that i isolated each instrument into separate audio files using a website, and tried to copy exactly what i liked about each part (mostly the drums, it took me a whole day to draw them out in midi, i dont even wanna talk about what it was like mapping out the crazier time signature sorcery sections, jon theodore is a beast) all music originally written by Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala Movements: I: Sarcophagi 0:00 II: Umbilical Syllables 0:41 III: Facilis descenus averni 3:26 IV: Con Safo 8:26 V: Nineteen Sank, While Six Could Swim (Bonus) 9:46 Links: Instagram: Spotify:
