Diego Stocco’s Fence Bass: A Survival-Horror Western Track Called Dustland

We’re huge fans of Diego Stocco’s ^[1] work. While gamers may know him from his brief stint in the videogame industry as the composer of SEGA’s original Conduit ^[2], the majority of his time is spent on other pursuits, including playing pianos that are on fire ^[3] and creating unique sounds for various sample libraries around the world. We also love his cool DS ear logo, which you can read about in our interview ^[1] with Stocco from the time the original Conduit was released.

Well, Stocco is at it again. He’s recently created a unique metal bass instrument that he’s called the Fence Bass, and with it has created a cinematic track called “Dustland” that he believes would be perfect for a Western film. I think it would fit the survival-horror genre a little better… but maybe we could see it in a Western-style horror flick?

You can see the instrument in action in the video above, and I recommend heading over to his website ^[4] to check out some of his other work. There’s even a medley of his music from Conduit which unfortunately never received a soundtrack release.

What do you think of the Fence Bass and “Dustland?”
