Description: After spending years studying jazz and classical music, Danny L. Harley plunged headlong into the world of electronic pop music. Now at the center of an exciting musical movement, the British producer and composer has earned critical acclaim for his innovative and emotional discography. Explore the production process of this genre-bending single by Caroline Polachek and discover new methods of digital composition and collaboration.
To start, Danny turns back the clock and goes back to the song’s original demo session. He shows how he and Caroline created their own vocal samples using digital varispeed. Danny then lays the groundwork for the initial song structure using digital synthesis tools like ANA and Kick2, combined with Logic’s built-in sampler. The situation gradually develops as the two producers exchange audio and MIDI files via AirDrop.
This technological approach gives the song a unique character. The performer and producer abandoned old production methods in favor of Logic Pro’s sophisticated digital capabilities. Glitches and artifacts are seen as opportunities to create the rhythm and emotion behind Caroline’s soaring vocals. Musical phrases are chopped up and reused. Audio is warped, processed and distributed using Flex Time. Harmonies and transitions are synthesized using next-generation effects engines such as Adaptiverb and Portal. Danny explores each of these sound design and composition strategies in detail, allowing you to discover how these otherworldly textures and soundscapes came to life.
Once the track has reached its final form, Danny moves on to more philosophical themes. He shares the emotions and ideas that inspire his work in the studio, offering insightful advice on how to find your sound, maintain creative flow, and be objective about the music you create.
