Okay, here's my latest:
This is a song from my upcoming album, "Evil Songs for Evil People". It was the last song to be written, though it has its roots in a song I started about 5 years ago, hence it was known as '227' for quite a while.
I was in the awkward position that the song which acted as a base was obvious written to go with some lyrics but I had forgotten them and not written them into the MIDI file which the composition was filed away as. Once the composition was finished I was left with a 12.5 minute song but no words. Then I found myself saying "I am the God of Lies" after the verse, and the whole thing clicked into place. Lyrics were quickly written, based around Jake, the Trickster God from a webcomic I'm following.
I was also listening to Theo's "Game of Oroborous" album a lot while this was being written, hence the pipe organ segments.
Instruments used included:
Moog Voyager
Hammond SK-1 organ (Electric Piano, Pipe organ upper and lower manuals)
Raspberry Pi running Aeolus (bass pedals: Bombarde, Posaune etc)
Waldorf Streichfett string synthesizer
Nord MicroModular
Waldorf MicroWave mk1
Hammond XM-1
Roland MVS-1
Roland JV1010
Alesis DM10 drum brain
Manikin Memotron
Epiphone Thunderbird Gothic bass
The songs was recorded on an Otari MX80 24-track tape machine, with the bass and vocals being recorded on a TASCAM TSR-8 for its automatic punch-in capabilities and then dubbed onto the 2" machine afterwards.
Mixing was done onto a Studer A807 1/4" master recorder, in three sections which were then razorblade edited together for the final album version.
Some of the vocals were slowed down by running the TSR-8 fast during tracking.
The reverse reverb was added in the traditional manner, by flipping the tape upside-down and dubbing reverb onto a spare track.
I even made a video of that, but I keep forgetting to upload it.
