Stop Control (Yazor church)

Part of the Sacred Spaces project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sacredspaces

"I chose the recording "Yazor church - pulling out the stops on the organ." The recording starts with the clatter of movement in the church. Once at the organ we hear, gently, a beautiful and richly textured chord. Gradually, we hear all the stops being pulled out as the chord dissolves into booming dissonance. Finally we come back again to that gentle chord, and the clatter.

I picked this because I loved the narrative and the constituent sonic themes. I knew I wanted to make pad sounds with the gentle chord, a more ominous atmosphere using the dissonance, and percussive texture using the clatter. In the end, I made an electro track using these elements and an additional drum kit, as well as bass, and sub bass instruments. I also made a second bass instrument and a bleepy pitch-bent instrument from the recording using some extreme EQing."
