Uses samples from:

 

Tools I Used

Reaper DAW software
NI Massive for Bass and Pads
Reaper native glitch plugin for piano
Kontakt for Guitars run through Guitar Rig
Illformed Glitch for cutting up a drum loop I had laying around
Battery for Top layer of drums

Original Samples

Guitar leads Drum tracks and Synth Pads. All of my stems can be downloaded for further remixing.

Process

I usually start with a progression on the keyboard. I then write a simple drum track and over time it evolves. My process is hard to pin down.

I sort of surprised myself with the Guitar parts. I felt the song so deeply they just came out of me so effortlessly really.

I'm not systematic about it. I go where the inspiration takes me and I ride a creative wave to shore.

Other Notes

Her words cut to the heart of relationships and hidden unspoken realities we don't want to face sometimes. I feel like this woman thinks deeply and existentially about what she writes and sings.
