Encroachment II: All Leather Theater

By Chris Dotson on August 10, 2014 4:31 pm

Lots of time away from my regular set-up again this week. This track was built entirely using a few field recordings made along the Oregon coast. I also was lucky to find myself sitting at an old piano for a few minutes and was able to record some noodling around with fragments of melodies direct to the ol' iphone.


The recordings were modified a bit using Samplr and layered later in Ableton. There's not much post-processing going on here.

Nice use of field recordings! This is really chill.

Thanks for the very kind words!

That should have said "struck", not "stuck, but you probably figured that out.

Seagulls and everything! Lovely track, the piano sounds spot on.
