@Tunnelwater and I were talking method, and I realized that others may be interested, so I’ll share my comments about what I did----I’m exceptionally negligent in taking notes while working on music, so this is guesswork based on the draft and final take. I have one of those ubiquitous cream BR-9 lap steels (but painted over with cheaper looking cream paint by some prior owner). I’m pretty sure I used a Mr. Black Blood Moon reverb, Boss DD-3 and an octaver. The key to the glitchyness is in feeding reverb/short delays early so they mar the tracking. I added some outboard nastiness with a Thermionic Culture Solo Vulture used as a DI straight into Logic. I think from there I may have pitched things down or ran them backwards to see where it wound up. The melody was initially a very simple, nearly classical line, and I felt it wasn’t playful enough for a joint project with strangers. I duplicated the song and then ran the doppleganger through trash 2 to weave in a thick noise-to-signal track at the fade. On pan to left, it sounded too full and rich to provide space for people to work with, so I ran it through a stock eq in Ableton (which could have been accomplished just as easily in logic, but Ableton is a bit mystifying to me, so I took this as an opportunity to give it a shake.) I love talking process, so feel free to fire away any questions. For contrast, I use the steel a bit more traditionally here-- https://www.instagram.com/p/Boul6dhBmv1/ Best- RSM
