For the track "Nighter" I wanted an electronic variation of the kind of stridulation that you hear on a summer evening in the midwest USA. This was achieved by multi-tracking the source files, pitch-shifting them down two or three octaves, adjusting the number of beats on the root note, and then mixing it all together. On the Sean Archibald loop I also added reverb and delay plugins. I used Sony Acid Pro to achieve the piece.
This track is composed from material extracted from three pre-existing tracks: Adrià Bofarull and Joan Saura’s Cráter, Sean Archibald’s Sean but not Heard, and Unicode’s Transmission.
