Way Through It

Heavily inspired by Squarepusher’s My Red Hot Car from one of my favourite albums Go Plastic. 

Inspired in two ways: first is the general tongue-and-cheek quality to the main theme and groove that starts at 0:20. Whenever I hear the opening minute of My Red Hot Car, I find myself making funny faces and bobbing my head in the most ridiculous ways

Secondly is the technical means by which drum and bass music is created and sampled. I was always curious how all the electronic manipulation is done in Squarepusher’s tracks, particularly in the drums.  Turns out, it’s much simpler than I thought and mostly uses the manipulation of recorded drum tracks with minimal sound design. 

In my track, the drums are mostly from Myriad3’s track Tell, beat mapped, manipulated, reversed, and more.  The original tools that cause glitching, stuttering, stretching, and other tape effects in Squarepusher’s music aren’t available to me.  But I found an effect plugin that recreates all these things quite well.  Aptly named, Glitch 2.

Ripped using Soundflower, into Adobe Audition. Everything you're hearing is from PICO-8. No EQ, no mixing (in the tradition sense), no mastering. I wanted it to sound as "authentic" to the console as possible.

That being said, I DID remove some audio pops and clicks that result from using PICO-8's music editor. (Not all, just some) I wanted it to sound authentic, but also wanted it to be nice to listen to.

If you're unfamiliar with PICO-8, PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs. www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
