Electronica.org Shares The Intense and Complex New Dren McDonald Track

As Electronica.org writes, Dren McDonald‘s track “Orcinus Bulla” “is crafted through layered modular synth sequences, recorded repeatedly with different knob tweaks, and augmented with electric guitar processed via granular synthesis. The track opens with ambient pads and delaying tones reminiscent of distant guitar elements. As it progresses, the composition builds in intensity and complexity, with high notes leading the charge and more robust tones joining in. Rhythmic elements provide forward momentum, creating an ambient, soundscape vibe with a distinct sense of purpose.” Go here to read the full review.

The composition, which is inspired and named after the Orca Whale, appears on McDonald’s new ambient opus Oceanic. The record is at radio now via Appearing Records.
