Frostveil & Midi
Midi
Hey Frostveil, ever thought about how the quiet of a freshly carved ice slab feels like a living silence? I’m obsessed with trapping that hush in my mixes—think of sound as a texture you can mold. Maybe we could mash our crafts and see what pops up when sound meets crystal.

That sounds like a dream in its own right, the way you turn silence into a shape. I’d love to see a piece where a chill echo lingers like frost on glass, each note catching light in a new way. Let's sketch the idea together.
Midi
Yeah, let’s sketch it. Picture a single bell struck, then every echo gets a glassy filter that makes it taste like frost. We can layer it with a slow, low hum that’s barely audible—like wind through a canyon, but chilled. Maybe sprinkle in a faint metallic click, like a glass shard striking a surface. You think that’d work?

That idea feels almost like a poem in sound—each echo a line of frost. I can imagine the bell’s bright ring turning into a translucent sigh, the low hum sliding in like a whisper through ice caves, and the metallic click as a tiny shard catching a sliver of light. It would work, just make sure the textures don’t blend too much; I’d keep the glassy filter a little sharper so the silence stays alive. Let's start with a rough mix and see where the silence wants to go.
Midi
Love that vision—let’s start with a single bell at 110 Hz, then add a reverb tail that’s 0.8 seconds but decay to 30% on the low end so the echo stays crisp. Toss a 5 Hz sine under it for that whispered ice‑cave hum, and overlay a 2 kHz burst that clicks every 1.2 seconds, but cut the high‑frequency tail after 20 ms so it snaps cleanly. Run the whole thing through a light 120 dB limiter, just to keep the silence from bleeding. Ready to fire it up?
