about

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make something dance-y, with a strong and recognizable beat. Because Battery Steele so clearly lends itself to more spacey/amorphous/ambient music, I was interested in trying to do the opposite. So I knew I was going to have to manipulate the recordings a lot to get more recognizable drum and synth sounds out of them. I started by bringing all my recordings into Ableton and listened for little snippets that could work as rhythmic loops or as one shots for making drum and synth patches in Ableton’s Sampler. I picked a couple of loops that worked rhythmically with a little bit
of time stretching, and then spent a lot of time molding one-shot samples into drum/synth-ish sounds by re-pitching, ltering, messing with envelopes, etc. After that it was just a matter of programming some simple beats + a couple chords, throwing in some melodic-ish bits, and liberally applying/tweaking effects. It was super fun and I’m looking forward to doing it again!
