Epic end credits anthem! Feels like a proper 70ies recording, all period appropriate instruments. Very nice!

Triumphant theme from decades past! This sounds amazing!!

The sound trumbuthegn made with his guitar is really unique, I thought it was an 60s era keyboard! Reminded me of Ratatat. I also enjoy the percussion giving an overall psychedelic vibe. Great work to you both.

Very spiky, but satisfying.

Thank you! The technique is quite simple, but a bit long-drawn. Set an octave fuzz (I used, erm, the Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz, but anything that approaches a square wave would give similar results) such that it clips to the max at the slightest touch of the guitar. Pick one string at the time softly with the thumb to avoid string attack. Multitrack each string separately (I did seven tracks – one for each string + one for the higer register of the high E string). The next step to get an cleaner and more “unnatural” result than this, would be to remove all the strings except the one you're recording to avoid sympathetic resonances and artifacts of inaccurate playing – but that would be even more tedious. The hammer-ons and pull-offs kind of gives a guitar vibe, but those techniques could certainly be played on keys too. I guess it could also be done live with seven players Ratatat has certainly been a major inspiration for this kind of production technique!
