Uses samples from:

 

Tools I Used

Live 7 / MBox / Arturia's demo MiniMoog5. Live's core plugins (reverb, etc)

Samples I Used

No sample, but Live drum samples

Original Samples

All instruments parts are original, and I played/programmed/edited them all

Process

1- dowloaded Lies a cappella.
2- listened to it many times
3- started editing so the a cappella is really in sync with the beat
4- started strumming, picking, trying the piano/synth

Other Notes

This was the first time I started from lyrics with a melody, and in english. Usually I write my own lyrics (in french) after the song's structure is stable enough, or plug some lyrics on a nearly finished instrumental.
I was (and still am) desperate not to be able to contact Amelia. I hope she will reply one day... This song is a way to thank her warmly for the good moments I spent with her voice in my mp3 reader, alone & away from home.
