Welcome! Have a seat, fasten your g̶̫̘͛̏͂l̷̪̊͝ḯ̶̜̹̣̲͛͑t̸̢̘̟̮̹̉̄́ć̵̼̿̈́͋͝ḫ̸̳͕́͐̉͜ͅ and get ready for a journey aboard the intergalactic transphantomatic aetheroplane, destination: known unknown. Please, no drinks.
Headphones / bass speakers recommended for full immersion!!!
This track was born from a few weird experiments. First of all, I found this crazy piano out in Copenhagen and sampled it. Then I created a wacky setup in AUM on ipad with the Samplr app which allows you to do weird stuff to samples, the retro piano from audiokit which I just bought cause it's on sale (from 2 dollars lol), as well as experimenting with some drum machines also on sale (for 1 dollar yay): DrumLab and DM2 (but ultimately I ended up using DrumComputer cause I found the others to be too harsh). Also on the screen was the FlyTape 2 tape machine where you can sort of glitch out the signal and perform the glitches somewhat. But the top of it all, I found a complete silence sample in my folders and I was like wat? then I normalized it and it turned out to be this crazy organ-like drone, probably some background noise of the room I recorded with my nice Røde NT2 so I used that as the bassline, supplemented by some bassalicious 2. I may have forgotten something but I don't think so. All of it recorded today.
Once I had all this set up I started performing it live, going back and forth to the samplr thing, wiggling the effects, while hitting some piano hits. I wanna get better at improvising vocals, this is one of my attempts to do so.
