NATIVE SKETCHES
12 // Mumdance
First off I made some pads with Absynth, and messed around until I found a chord I liked which worked as a drone. Then I layered it up 3 times at different octaves with a bit of panning to thicken it up. I then used an 808 kick sample in Battery which I put at intervals to give an anchor for timing. I ran a crash that I sampled years ago through the RC 48 reverb to give it a big long tail so it would sit with the pads. I then recorded my voice and put it in a Reaktor ensemble called Floop Gloop, played around with the settings and sampled it off and then put it back into the ensemble again. I repeated this process a few times. I was also using an ensemble called Pitchomat. After I felt that I had suitably mangled my voice so it was unrecognisable, I took a few of my favourite takes & layered them over the pad.
