This track was originally two separate songs recorded at very different settings. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of how I created the 1st intro section with the jazzy interlude - I was experimenting a lot with reel to reel tape, and merging very warm, analog sources with colder, chaotic digital percussion.
The second half of the song is a live take of a track - I'm playing all the reverbs and delay feedbacks on a home-made midi controller that uses an arduino to connect to ableton live. I set up some macros for differing variables of the delays / reverbs, and also controlled some aspects of the tonality. The percussion and chord progression are relatively generative but within my params.
This LP tells the story of a witch, a pair of magic gloves, & an enormous shark via wonderfully surreal electronic songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2021
