Distorted Pad Chords

Ether

A chord progression I wrote for my track "Ether" off of the album "A Brief History of the Means of Production". Played on a distorted pad sound synthesized by me in a digital synth.

The chord progression is: C-D-Am-G-Fmin-F#dim-Am-D (with the middle note lifted up an octave in each). I was thinking D-mixolydian while writing it, but noticed afterwards that I had borrowed an F-minor in there. Pretty sure I intended to put in an E-minor but clicked the wrong place in a piano roll and the end result sounded so good that I didn't notice my error until the song was done :D Accidents improve the art sometimes, I guess (I did try it with the E-minor afterwards but I think the Fmin works better)!

I make conceptual ambient/IDM/post-rock-type-music that makes heavy use of field recordings and obscure samples. Check it out on Bandcamp or elsewhere under the name "Signals in Noise"!
