For this post we have another remastered song by Steaming Mulch. It’s always fun posting a Steaming Mulch song because you never know what you’re going to get. This tune rolls through a variety of different parts. It starts with live drums, guitars and bass. As you go through the song you’ll hear vocals rolling in and out of the mix. They’re altered in a variety of ways – backwards, raising and lowering the pitch, cut and paste. The song moves in to an electronic beat. The band adds different electronic keyboard parts while the guitar floats along on top. In this song the vocals are used more as an instrument then a lyrical addition. Then live drums make their reappearance on top of the electronic beats. There are parts where the live drums have been cut in to smaller pieces and pasted back in to the song repeatedly or have been doubled. The drums have sometimes been distributed to separate stereo channels. The beats, whether live drums or electronic, tie everything together. As always, this is fun from a recording standpoint. You never quite know what’s going to happen. The songs usually have basic parts created before entering the studio, but a lot of parts are created during the recording process. You get extra credit if you can decipher what the vocals are saying (I seriously do not remember exactly what was being said – they don’t provide me with lyric sheets). Hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did recording it.
