Superfluous anectdote:
Today my computer started crashing every time i opened my DAW, serious blue screen of death type stuff... I tried everything and thought that there might be something wrong with my hardware (it's a pretty old computer with a dysfunctional battery and a uncontained drive, so it wouldn't really be surprising). I ended up resetting windows. When it stopped at 68% i was pretty sure that i had lost everything (because i'm a stupid person who don't back things up (i don't what i would use a backup for with no computer anyhow)). when it finished the message in the picture came up on the screen and i thought i sounded pretty sinister (especially in danish) "Leave everything to us". anyways that seemed to fix it, and my progress with this weeks track wasn't entirely lost (it did crash once again, but i think it might just be the battery.)
Process Notes:
This week started with the idea of using the approach i used last week with layering dense textures, but I wanted to try with some tonal stuff. I recorded a minute of simple ukulele fingerpicking 1234 chords, then copied it to 10 tracks panned and shifted around a bit, and reversed it after. Filtered with automation to create movement, I think this was a pretty cool sound. I made three of these, which appear individually but also layered (in the end all three play at once). Also from last week i decided recycle the water sound.
Also i got cables to connect my analog synthesizer to my interface this week, i found it pretty interesting to play it with the tune knob (starring into a tuner on my computer) while singing with it, so this turned into a song for no other reason. Later a layered more synth and vocals. The lyrics were just whatever came out of my mouth, they are in danish. Not completely sure of the meaning...
