The process….

Equipment used: Squier Stratocaster guitar. Audition semi – acoustic guitar. Korg Kaossillator. 18″ Oscillating fan, Ribbons.

Recording method: Ableton Live 8 Suite running on Macbook Pro.

Recording techniques: ‘The Boat Has Sailed’ drone was achieved using the earth hum and harmonics of the Audition guitar. Percussive bass were recorded through the pickups of the same guitar and then chopped, stretched and looped.

‘It’s In The Trees’ and ‘Storm Train’ guitar parts were recorded by attaching ribbons to an oscillating fan and allowing them to strike the strings randomly.

All tracks written between October 2011 and February 2012 by Jeff Stonehouse.
