David’s Adventures Through the World of Music Creation and Sonic Exploration
20 Oct
Almost every song, track or project, I produce is a journey. A journey through sounds guided by inspiration and the machines I’m working with.
Some projects have a destination, or a goal, which I have a pretty good view of. I want it to sound in a certain way, not be short than a certain amount of time, have a specific feeling to it and so on.
I don’t have my mind set on the type of sounds I want to use - I only have a hunch. Therefor I most often let the machines guide my way through the creation process and a lot of sounds I’m using are tweaked presets that gives me inspiration while playing something when browsing through them.
I’m right now listening to the first track of the upcoming Pretorium album and I must admit that I’m very pleased with it. It would be fantastic to do a live show with loads of musicians. Live drummers, guitarists, bassists, a string quatet perhaps and vocals. Not sure that any label would be interrested though… but I’ll have a look around. It’s at least well worth trying - isn’t it?

I click through all the presets until I find something I like. Then I tweak it a bit until it’s just right, then I distort the f**k out of it and put a bassdrum on top. Success!
Are you sure the bassdrum isn’t on the bottom of the track? ;o)
Which distortion units are you using? Tools of trade perhaps?
