Experimenting with different DAWs, and starting to learn more into open-source tools, snowfield_of_angelmechs utilizes a workflow of recording improvised playing (in this case through Surge XT), and then chopping up, pitch shifting, and re-arranging the recordings.
This is a technique that I find quite engaging, but does always make it hard to keep a clear link between final result and the exact musical settings that produced them (as was the goal from this album onwards).
I was playing a lot of Mega Man Zero at the time, and so wanted to channel some of the vibes of that world’s future-mech-adventure aesthetic.
