Uses samples from:

 

Tools I Used

Ableton live 6, kontakt 2(2 instances), FM8 (3 instances), Arts Acoustic Reverb and Voxengo LF-punch

Samples I Used

Vocal samples from KCentric (Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported).

Original Samples

Self-made samples have been produced with FM8 sounds sampled, pitched, distorted, filtred, re-pitched, re-distorted, re-filtred (and so on until they are *really* different from the beginning )

Process

Samples are triggered via midi with kontakt 2, played with the release/decay gears and filters a lot to make it sound "evolving". The vocals have been filtred with a high-resonance LP filter (the "cut" knob was automated) and then distorted, all this within kontakt.

Other Notes

FM8 is a very good synthesizer. Maybe a bit difficult to set the operators but very powerful.
