The opening sounds are recordings made from holding a contact microphone to a metal water bottle. These sounds are looped with the Organelle using the Locked Loops patch. Each loop, while atonal, has several peak frequencies which were used to transcribe each slosh into a series of notes. These notes are played by FM synthesizers to make a duet of water bottle and synth. These synths swell with elongating sustain until they reach their peak, welcoming the soft sounds of a borrowed mbira.
nothing new, under the suuun—except for this absolutely killer album expertly blending heartfelt lyrics with soaring riffs & shuddering breakdowns. 😭💕 blood craisin
