“The Lady With The Watermelon Hugs” by Wishbook (disquiet0625)

Recorded, mixed & mastered 23 Dec 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes

Over the course of a few hours, I recorded alto saxophone in my bathroom six times using my iPhone in various places in the room – in the shower, by the dripping sink, near the running toilet. Any incidental noises in the room – water, movement – have been left in these recordings. The room I used was an important part of my recording.

A bit later in the day, I imported all six recordings into Ableton Live and divided them evenly into as many tracks and into three groupings. Each group was given one instance of Baby Audio’s Transit. The last group was further subdivided into four tracks total. Each grouping’s individual tracks was also given one effect. I used Live native devices throughout as well as Arturia EFx Refract and SynthesizerWriter AUD HexFrequencyShifter.

After getting a good mix, I mastered using iZotope Ozone 9.
