Trying a bunch of things on this one. Started off playing a Farfisa through a Moog Murf pedal, played along to a drum machine as I looped a few sections. Then I did a basic arrangement with those loops. I overdubbed a live kit, other keys and effects. Then sampled that in sections, and had a jam with those samples along with a drum machine, bass synth, poly synth and effects. Brought that into pro tools and chopped it up adding more overdubs, shaker, guitar, bass and some sound effects. For the intro, I took an early demo of the song played on my phone and made a talk box effect putting the phone speaker pointing into my mouth and recording the effect on a microphone. Starts out before that with the sound of loading and playing a cassette tape.

Casual Hostage Negotiation

Interview with Jason Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale University

Us & U.S.

Tried playing back in the room through speakers for drum and bass loud into a room. An external sampler allows you to track simultaneously while laying down bass. I think there is something about knowing the track you are playing to is being tracked at the same moment ensures that they always fit together. I used a beat up SP-202 for the beat that I resoldered in a crazy way, the board was cracked and I can't believe it still works. Cant remember where I got the drum sample might have been Max? I sat on this basic track for a long time, then imported phrases to Ableton ,which I have never really used, and hashed out a rough arrangement, Then did a bunch of overdubs which I ended up erasing. I think I enjoyed the more stripped down sound then the crazy sounds I was throwing on top. Its been a wild year. I didn't get much music done, probably my worst output for a year. Its a tough fight finding the time an energy and then keeping your head on what your doing. Sometimes it works to just re-work the whole thing from another angle and cut harshly. Hope all you future people reading this are taking care of this world. We all wanted to be the generation that did it, but the greedy pricks slipped into power, and corruption seems to only work in one direction, rarely are people corrupted into being more compassionate.
