Peach Orchard Skiffle (disquiet0663)

Recorded & mixed on 13 Sep 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes –
Bitwig – I started in Bitwig by pulling four samples from Freesound.org, including the one offered for use with this project. After this, I applied different settings of the Tuner device, very wet, different stretch modes and some limiting before exporting the 4 stems.

I grabbed my iPad and sat in the cool night air with AudioKit’s Synth One and recorded a few slow takes on the same arpeggio.

Ableton Live –
– I pulled in all four of Freesound samples. I warped each one differently, grouped the HDD Sounds together & applied pitch correction in Nectar along with some CHOWTapeModel. I grouped the other two sounds together and applied Corpus on a beam setting.
– I used 6 different pieces of the Synth One recordings, with some filtering applied to some and used Caellum Audio’s Tape Cassette 2 on one of these tracks.
– I pulled three bits of a Max session from 19 Apr 2024 as some icing on this cake, using the same basic Corpus patch as the second Freesound set.
– I mixed it – just went with it

Title – I just liked how the word “orchard” contains the word “hard.”
