A friend sent me an audio of her playing guitar, and so I decided as a challenge to make a track out of it. Everything comes from the initial audio:
- playing in reverse + reverb to make the background swells
- isolated notes to make the melody
- isolated notes pitch-shifted an octave to make the banjo-like melody
- a small fragment pitch-shifted down to make the bass
- string slides and distorted bits to make the drums
It was a very fun exercise! I've been told it sounds like the Outer Wilds soundtrack and I can see why.
