Community Collaborative 'The Cold Has Come'

[@christiaanvandenakker901]

This sounds awesome - congrats to everyone who contributed, and to Ken for putting it all together.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@christiaanvandenakker901 Thank you, I can't think of a more suitable word either...it's just simply AWESOME haha!!! What a privilege to work with such a talented group of artists...talk about understatement!!! 💥🙏🏻🤟🏻 Take care my friend, have a great week! -hw

[@ZeroGrav1984]

This was awesome, Ken. Thanks for including my contribution.

[@stonejudas]

Great job everyone!

[@hiwattmarshall]

Thanks @stonejudas , it's super awesome of you to share here my friend! I hope your week ROCKS as much as this track haha, take care 🙅🏻‍♂️🤟🏻 -hw

[@moeval]

That random sample section reminds me of sequencing with Tracker software from the PC Demo scene or using Sound Raider software like on some Negativland releases back in the 90s - 00s.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@moeval thanks for sharing my friend, its a big deal 🙏🏻🤟🏻 Crazy how much fun it provides, and how extremely useful the results can be. I honestly found it by accident...the arturia was still holding a sequence from day prior, when I assigned it to some vocal samples, it sounded like I had been editing for hours haha...made the most KILLER vocal part 💥🤟🏻 Have a great week, and stay safe @moeval ! -hw

[@ennoi202]

Circumpolar says hi to Ken and everyone that contributed and thanks for letting us be a part of this! :)

[@hiwattmarshall]

@ennoi202 Thanks Jonas, big shout out right back my friend 🙏🏻 It makes ALL the difference when you clearly put so much time and effort into your parts, thank you 🙏🏻🤟🏻 Love those ARPy bits, and your stereo imaging ⇔ 🎹🙅🏻‍♂️. Take care, and hope we meet up on the next one! -hw

[@manufacturedpurposebeta]

The way you used my David Wavez voxe sample was great!! It is actually originally over twiced as long of an endurance screem, but I cut/fade edited from the beginning of the sample because I felt that it didn't need to be ridiculously long in the arrangement. 😂😂 But this project was fun and intense to do! And the finished version is absolutely great!! Time and time again this community proves to be so sick with the sounds...Thanks to you all! And def thanks Ken for making this possible!!! 🙏

[@hiwattmarshall]

@manufacturedpurposebeta Thank you my friend, your David Wavez vocal is so perfect in that spot, and the way your effects ramp into the next section...so cool 🙏🏻😆 Agreed, the combined talent in this community is all powerful...like measured in MEGATONS haha 💥🔥💥 Take care David, thanks again for contributing 🙏🏻🤟🏻 Until next time... -hw

[@JacobSkriver]

[@ImperatorScab]

As always, everyone did a fantastic job. Great work putting it all together Ken. Thank you everyone for the awesome contributions and thank you Ken for giving us the opportunity to be a part of something so cool!

[@b.aitken]

[@hiwattmarshall]

@b.aitken Thanks Brian, what a privilege it is to work with so many talented artists...all in one project no less!@*%$@!!!! I look forward to our next collab my friend, take care in the meantime 🙏🏻🤟🏻 -hw

[@haolekoa737]

Killer track, everyone! Once again, missed the deadline because we're slackers, but guaranteed Ampkicker will jump on the next one! Edit: Forgot to mention, love hearing that old-school jungle Amen break, all time classic.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@haolekoa737 SO awesome of you to share my friends 🤟🏻🙏🏻 I personally missed your (epic) contributions on this one, but I totally understand! I was equally STOKED to hear the Amen break with those killer edits...that sample never gets old haha, BOOM 💥 Take care in 2024 @haolekoa737, and definitely stay safe!!! Until our next endeavour 🤟🏻 -hw

[@umdesch4]

This is SO great. Kudos to all the contributors. But Ken's enthusiasm amps the whole unveiling up several notches. Stellar work all around.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@umdesch4 THANK YOU, I appreciate that very much 🙏🏻 It would be impossible to be any less AMPED when exposing this crazy-talented community haha, what a privilege it is to press the solo button, if you know what I mean 🤟🏻😆 Pick any three parts, and solo them up...it's like another whole bed track 💥💥💥LOVE IT!!! Thanks again @umdesch4 , I hope you have a great week my friend! -hw

[@robertwarnock6699]

Thank you, as always, for allowing me to be a part of this. I always love hearing the final version with everyone’s contributions.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@robertwarnock6699 Thank you Robert 🙏🏻🤟🏻 Your Arpeggiated parts off the top work so well with Snow Metal's...I love the detuning going on, just brilliant! 🎹💥. Thanks again for making time on this one Robert, it makes ALL the difference my friend 🙏🏻😊. Take care, and have a great week! -hw

[@danieklerr]

Wow, I am absolutely over the moon! This sounds incredible, and I am so amazed that you soloed my SnowMetal parts out and took the time to appreciate each individual artist. I am still listening, so I need to get back to it, but once again.. Thank you, Ken. :)

[@hiwattmarshall]

@danieklerr your contributions made a MASSIVE impact on this mix my friend, THANK YOU 🤟🏻🙏🏻 Really appreciate your attention to the details Snow Metal, your edits are like surgical haha, BOOM! Have a great week, and definitely stay safe @danieklerr Until next time... -hw

[@danieklerr]

You're a genius, Ken! I'm a huge fan, and it has been an honor working with you.

[@MarkWilsonX]

Thanks for this opportunity Ken, and all the wisdom you share on here. So fun to be a part of it!! 🙏

[@Cyborgmarsupial]

Real nice. Reminds me of the intricacies of the "Process" lp, with aspects of the Distemper remix project. Yet has a throwback to the old SkinnyPuppy grit. Thanks! One for the Fans!

[@hiwattmarshall]

@user-tz1wq8gg9z Thank you for sharing here, it's a big deal 🙏🏻 To your point, SP is such an influential band, and I can't think of a better one to be inspired by, personally 🤟🏻💥😆 Backwards strings almost always remind me of The Process...there is something magical in the sound of a real recorded orchestra playing backwards. It's like the harmonics are off the awesome scale, resulting in some really complex waveforms. I love your comments @user-tz1wq8gg9z , couldn't be more spot on my friend. Some of the contributions were just SICK haha, with lots o GRIT 🤟🏻🔥 Can't wait for the next collab 🙅🏻‍♂️. Take care, and stay safe! -hw

[@tondrej]

This is extremely enjoyable. Thank you!

[@hiwattmarshall]

@industrialVyking Thank you, I personally missed you on this one brother, but of course I understand big time 🙏🏻❤️ I wish you could SEE my reaction to your last couple of comments Steve, it's really heartwarming when you share your positive energy here on the channel 🙏🏻🤟🏻 Whether you're involved in a project or not...you've taken the time, and consideration to leave an inspiring comment, and we appreciate it my friend 👦🏻🙏🏻 I do hope you have a spectacular week, and thanks again SN 🙏🏻😊 -hw

[@andreassandberg9336]

Such an amazing result! Everyone did a fantastic job. And I really have to try the arpeggiated sampler method soon!❤🤩

[@hiwattmarshall]

@andreassandberg9336 thanks again for contributing your vocal parts, and with so many cool variations 🙏🏻💥🤟🏻 I can tell this isn't your first rodeo haha, brilliant work my friend 😊 Your vocals elevate the track to a whole different level...LOVE IT!!!! I hope we get to hear more on our next 🙏🏻🙅🏻‍♂️ Take care Andreas, and have a great week 💥 -hw

[@ClifBratcher]

Thanks! I ran some of the mix through a camden pre into a custom fuzz-like box I built around an old reel to reel amp circuit.

[@hiwattmarshall]

@ClifBratcher that's brilliant my friend, WOW! It definitely sounds like some REAL processing haha...that part literally JUMPS out of the speakers 😆🤟🏻. I think you may have discovered a new type of STEREO...CLIFSTEREO®️ (like stereo, just more better) haha!!!! Nice one my friend, thanks for contributing...and for inventing a new format lmao! Take care! -hw
