Hoarse Ouvre

from Hackneyed Empire by Alex Fletcher

/

about

Hoarse Ouvres (a pun, again) was based around a riff I used to hum to myself whilst waiting for the bus to work, about ten years ago, but never found a use for. At first I was going to do it on the electric guitar, but it was more controllable on keyboard. The initial sound (it might have been the 'trumpet' voice, but the thing is so cheap none of them sound like what they're meant to be!) was recorded 'live' again to a click track, but I wanted it more dynamic. Not having an ability to double up the notes (like, say, 'I Feel Love') I recorded each note of the riff separately, cut out the gaps on Audacity, repeated them to double the notes, adding reverb etc, and laid it in on top of the live version. Then I feeled out the bottom end by recording a simple bassline on the electric, dropping it an octave to sound like a bass (necessity being the mother of invention). Then I could let loose a bit with some bad soloing on top! The cowbell drum bit was done the same as above.
