Hackneyed Empire

about

Hackneyed Empire was based around chord change practice, which I just put down to a click track on Audacity. I then stuck a bit of keyboard in as a bass, and 'sampled' (aka recorded) drum sounds off the keyboard; cutting out the pauses on the recording and lining them up to the click track in order to get the rhythm. The electric guitar was just to add body and a bit of drama to the chorus. Then, about a week after I'd finished, I thought it might be funny - as it's essentially a thing about being a Little Englander - to have a kind of hysterical vocal bit in it. So I just copied the mixed down version, and laid it back in lower in the mix but with the pitch shifted up an octave. This is an old trick I use. It makes it sound like you've double-tracked at different pitches! It also gave it a kind of Paisley Park sheen, which I quite liked.
