some times i like to write loud songs, but not too often. they usually involve layers or distorted guitars, cut up and re-programmed to sound like machines and put through walls of effects. With these songs i'm trying to focus on rhythms and small details in the percussive and glitchy sounds. i try to create some piercing drones using wailing synthesizer sounds, and am experimenting with layers of distortion.
some songs i recorded using a number of different sound sources such as guitars, calimba and string samples. i like to focus on orchestration and the subtle movements where melodies move against each other. i use programmed beat accompaniments using vocal sounds, some classic drumbox noises and guitar ticks. i create atmospheres and drones using synthesisers and manipulated samples.
