First Salmple Patch

Quick live performance I put together over the weekend. The main idea was to loop some live vocals into a chord on Nebulae, run that buffer through some effects and then into a crossfader, have a bouncing ball envelope control the crossfade and then have a single trigger hit that envelope, a pitch change, another envelope on a filter cutoff and a kick drum all at the same time for a splashy sound on kick drum hits. I did that and then went a little weird with it, adding some extra drums from Salmple; a few basic effects in FL Studio (multitracking);  a lead from Nerdseq plus Salmple (with internal Salmple filter cutoff modulated to match the vocal pitch changes); a square wave as a clock, FMed by another wave; and at one point replacing the Nebulae's source with a live mic that I whistled into. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“London” sat in a notebook for 3 years after Lucaa wrote it on a whim in their sister’s kitchen in San Francisco. Too much to process at the time, they finished the song after encouragement from Juno winners Snotty Nose Rez Kids when opening for them on tour. After the show, Snotty took Lucaa aside to tell them “you can go farther than you know - do this for yourself and your people”.

 “‘London’ embodies my journey and experiences as a queer afro-indigenous person. The songwriting is raw, emotive, and also quite introspective and blunt.  I am talking about my shortcomings and hardships with painstaking honesty and vulnerability. I want to be better, but I don't know how because I can't seem to love myself enough to fix it. There is a calming beauty to the lush instrumentation and melody that engulfs you in my sorrow and hopefulness that I can somehow mend this love.” - Stepha (Lucaa)
