Creating huge discordant chord stabs

Post by scottymac » Thu Feb 02, 2017 3:17 am

Hi Guys

I'd like some techniques and tools please to apply to my chord stabs to make them sounding very discordant with a kind of horror edge if that makes sense. I'm constructing minor chords in different synths but they but they are still a little fluffy for my liking. I want them sounding incredibly aggressive and scary. Please can you point me in the right direction for me to experiment and explore.

Thanks in advance, peace.

Traditional method : play with forearms, elbows and fists.

Think I'm joking?

Brilliant.

You could also try detuning some of the synths/oscillators.
