Description: We are pleased to present you another series of videos with an incredibly talented producer Malay! Filmed at his 2019 commemorative workshop, this document documents the process of recording, producing and performing the song “Them” by singer-songwriter Iris. Malay talks about the origins and inspirations of the project, and then explains how he wants to develop it emotionally, musically and sonically. He records a simple guidebook and then gets to work on creating a soundscape of modulating synth lines, atmospheric guitar sounds, luscious organ, heavily distorted drums and more. He describes how the drums were previously recorded at Larrabee Studios and shares his mic techniques and preferences. All other parts are recorded at Studios La Fabrique and then creatively processed using various plugins to apply radical tonal, dynamic and timing manipulations. You will witness how Malay quickly and impulsively creates a production using his unique workflow, empathizing with the artist and experimenting freely!
