Listen "No. 63, Hold Back For Oncoming Traffic (disquiet0673)"
Episode Synopsis
Recorded, mixed & mastered by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.
Process notes -
I started by thinking that verses are quiet and choruses are loud and that my (instrumental) piece would have a clear simple melody in the chorus section and longer notes for the verse. Then I would just make the chorus quiet and the verses louder or in some way more brash.
On Friday, I started working on my monthly Patreon pack - this time using Ableton Live’s Wavetable. I started from an “analog” preset, messed it up a bit and then came up with 10 variations. I put that aside for the pack and then opened a new Live set to branch off from there for this submission.
On Saturday, I arranged the bones of what I had, added a little Roar distortion to the bass/drone and added a few unpredictable elements to finish the track.
Tools used - Ableton Live, Wavetable, Roar & other native Live devices, Sonic Bloom Bodhrán & Kalimba, iZotope Ozone 9.
