Recording

The recording process of this song was incredibly intense. When I first heard the instrumental, albeit a very unfinished version, I wasn’t particularly moved or inspired, but I definitely thought it was interesting. However, when I brought it to record, it brought out very raw and visceral feelings in me, and I feel that my vocal performance was even more intense than usual. As this track has no real drums or rhythm, I thought it allowed me to tap into my own vocal style more closely, aligning it with the source of what I am always trying to achieve. As I take a lot of inspiration from punk, hardcore, and noise music, I always try to deliver vocals in af free-form manner that adds new layers of interpretation to preexisting rhythmic elements and compositional decisions in production. Having almost no rhythm or notable structure in this track gave me total freedom to create structure through my vocal delivery and pacing. I felt that the vocals actually give what would otherwise feel like a sound design session a feeling closer to a full song.
