Synths, effects
Process notes -
In Nov 2020, I started a video series that was mostly small electronic instruments and guitar pedals filmed from above. When I first started the series, I recorded a few test takes and I decided to use one of these as the basis for an entire album I plan to release this year and currently is in progress. This one was (probably) a Korg Volca FM, an old Electro-Harmonix Microsynth & a TC Electronic Nova.
Besides this recording, I also will use different synths to layer onto the original recording. For this piece, I am using some wavetable-layered-samples (as kicks, more or less), the Cherry Audio Chroma and the Arturia Mini. Each one of these I generally increased the resolution/speed of short midi phrases I wrote. This broke down some of the effects I had and did a few nutty things but I really liked how it fit right into the piece.
There was a sweet accident of feedback in the DAW that I captured and layered on near the end, too.
