A time for subtraction


Listening to "A", version 2, I felt it was a bit too dense. Time for subtraction. In order to create a gentle climax, I muted the nyckelharpa and trumpet for almost a bar, while the oboe holds a high, expanding note.

Then, to add to the "Russian warship baptism"-illusion, I went out to our garage and recorded an anchor chain, pulled slowly over the arm rest of a garden chair. I inserted the sample in the last part of the track, after the oboe has left the scene and the nyckelharpa takes over the lead.

This, I'm satisfied with. This is the final version. Now, I'll just find a name.

"A", version 3
