How I Did It
Husky dogsby Admiral Bob
Uses samples from:
Tools I Used
Les Paul, P-Bass, Alesis Keytar, Garageband
Samples I Used
April's Eskimo E... by Beluga Ten
Slow drums by Beluga Ten
Winter Night, Su... by Beluga Ten
Original Samples
two guitar parts, a bass part, and a keyboard part
Process
I changed the tempo of slow drums to 61 BPM, and used the sample with the kick and snare playing half notes. About 30 seconds onto that, I added the congas from Winter night. I added a tight room reverb onto the whole thing.
I added the wolf cry and narrator from April's eskimo, interspersed at about 20-30 second intervals. I added a reverb to that, as the wolf cry kind of called for that.
I took the guitar from Winter night, and looped it from the start to about 30 seconds shy of the end of the drum track. I dropped a 55% slapback echo on it with a lot of repeats.
On a real guitar, I added a spare part with some variations on Beluga's, to make it seem a bit more organic. Then I added another part with a bit of noodling.
I used and repeated periodically the flute from Winter Night. I dropped a big cathedral reverb on it.
I used the Keytar to make loon cries. Then I grooved along with all of this on the bass.
Other Notes
This was not a hard piece to do - Beluga should never have needed rescuing! So much good stuff.
