Tools I Used
Sample slicing and mixdown was done entirely in Reaper on my old 2008 MacBook. ADA is a MOTU 828mk3. Original recordings were made stand-alone using a Rode NT-1A and Sony PCM-D50, with a FatPro FBPS-1 phantom power box.
Samples I Used
Verse one lyrics were constructed by picking apart three of Per's songs and rearranging the words as a new poem. Portions of the original verses were then rearranged to create a sort of harmonic motet.
Verse 2 used a similar approach, but I sliced the samples finer (individual words) used Reaper's ReaPitch utility to come up with a new tune as well.
Verse 3 already exists as Left My Slippers, which Speck added harmony tracks to in advance.
Original Samples
The drone is from my Analogue Systems AS-1, just pretty straightforward oscillators and filters. Lyrics--subject to word-by-word selection--are original, as are my vocals.
Process
I used vocal track grouping in Reaper with a fair amount of sidechain compression, which I hope became subtle enough through the process.
Other Notes
Usually I am uploading samples or sticking to (cc)BY-licensed work. It was nice to lose some of the restriction, let things evolve.
