I had a great time producing this track for my singer Noora. Like most of the stuff we worked on for her EP ‘Retrograde’ the backbone of this track comes from a guitar riff. The song is written in 6/8 time signature, which i really think goes a long way to carry the emotion of the track. Its something you can wave your lighter in the air to. Aside from the main guitar riff other instruments i used to emphasize the dreamy vibe were organ, strings, vibraphone, and brass.
The post-hook is really carried home by the openness in the track, it drives home the message by giving the vocals a lot of room to shine. See the video below for a more in-depth look at what went into the production of the song!
I also used a home brew field recording of rain and crickets that I took here at my home in Atlanta GA. Def helped carry the vibe and put the song into that dreamy mood straight from the intro
VST’s used in this song are…
Serum (this is my go-to for clean sub bass sounds)
Soniccouture - Vibraphone
Kontakt - Vintage Organs
Kontakt - Brass Ensemble - Symphony Essentials
Kontakt - String Ensemble - Symphony Series
Kontakt - Abbey Road 50’s Drummer
