Are they aware of their true nature? Should they strive to become human? Does it even matter? I wonder how Sunnexo feels about this.</p> +<Hr/> +<h2>Sound design</h2> +<p>For this particular track I wanted to use some older sample packs like the ones by Vengeance Sound, but also even older ones such as the Zero-G CDs. They’re so cheesy but so much fun at the same time. I believe artists like Hideki Naganuma used the Zero-G ones back in the day, a notable example being Jet Set Radio’s soundtrack. Nowadays these packs are available <Link link="https://archive.org/details/zero-gee-sample-pack_202302" type="link">on the Internet Archive</Link>.</p> +<Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J1AAngh2vAw" type="link" block /> <Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qNSQs0zuVuU" type="link" block /> +<p>I also used a bunch of resampling techniques in the track, such as the glitchy piano. I made a few random chords and chopped them up using a slicer to rearrange the sequence into something stuttery. Resampling is a recurring theme in this album, I love doing it!</p> +<p>Another thing I’d like to mention is this synth called <Link link="https://fors.fm/junior" type="link">Junior by Fors</Link>, it’s a recreation of the Game Boy’s wavetable as a modern VST plugin. I used it to create some of the old school growls and basses and love the way it sounds!</p> +<Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BcYZKgz33n8" type="link" block /> +<p>It’s DRM free and cheap, unheard of nowadays when it comes to VSTs.
