"At first what captured my attention was the richness of the all the voices from children, woman and man. So the focus is on the voices, everything is based on that. Aside from the drone and occasional percussions, most of the sounds are heavily treated vocals. Next, I liked the organic side of the market's ambiance, therefore some live percussions was added. I deliberately left out the song captured in fhe field recording provided to avoid any copyright issues.
"I basically extracted and isolated into separate tracks all voices, noises, wind, artifacts and ambience. Multiple different combinaison of effects was permanently applied on each tracks. Everything was imported into the DAW (Ableton), then I selected some sections of every category and applied more effects depending of the result needed. The drone and percussions we're added to complete the picture. Selected tracks were imported into the Zoom F3 and sent simultaneously in stereo to 2 different mono effects (Chase Bliss Mood on the left channel, Dr Scientist The atmosphere on the right channel) and recombined into a stereo signal sent in Chase Bliss Reverse Mode C and redivised into a left and right signal. More effects were added via auxiliary return busses and automation on most of the tracks, these parameter change includes: EQ, filters, Bit Reduction, Downsample, Bit Depth, Overdrive, gain, Pitch and Tape Saturation.
