How I Did It
Uses samples from:
Tools I Used
Renoise
Full BLotter
Process
Various ideas, a bed of sound or a thicket, or whisperings out of which the melody would emerge pure.
The percussive parts came from a cymbal and some claps, plus the mandolin; through an fx chain of flanger, reverb, multitap delay and compressor. And in addition the percussion box was sent through the full blotter granular software, which plays simultaneously on a separate track
Full blotter also gave me the majestic organ style sound: the result of loading the rhodes from have mercy. This is on two tracks, an octave apart, the lower one being faded out as the sound progresses.
The partial voices, scattered along the beat, and individually panned left, right, centre and in between, are gradually subjected to an additional filter which pushes the emphasis higher and higher
The main vocal has a chorus, an eq, and a compressor
Other Notes
The track could be better, given that I was also learning renoise as I went along, but generally pleased with the result.
Big thanks to Admiral Bob for the magnificent vocal
