Information

Christina and I got married in 2000 and Anya was born in 2002 & Kyan in 2004. Given that we didn’t go out a lot, I had time to devote to making music. By then, I had purchased a PC at home and had discovered Emagic Logic. In fact, my dad bought Logic Audio Platinum 4.7 for me in Switzerland with which I discovered the magical world of software instruments and effects. I was quite amazed by rgc:audio Triangle (easy to program great bass sounds), Green Oak Software Crystal (complex textures and arpeggios), mda piano and Daichi Synth1 (modeled on the Clavia Nord Lead 2 apparently). All these software instruments were free and sounded fantastic. On some tracks, I used a few samples.

Technical details

Composed and recorded using Logic Pro X, Logic EXS24, rgc:audio Triangle, Green Oak Software Crystal, mda piano, Daichi Synth1, some samples (probably from Future Music magazine cover disks I had purchased over the years) and my Kawai K4 as a controller.

Mixed using Logic Fat EQ, Logic Low Cut, Logic Compressor, Logic Gain, Logic Tape Delay, Logic Stereo Delay, Logic GoldVerb and Logic Bitcrusher. As I had crap speakers at that time, the whole album was mixed on a pair of AKG K141 Studio headphones. Bob Katz’s book, Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science, was a fantastic source of inspiration. I spent days on the mixing and mastering to get the album to sound pristine.

Mastered using PSP Vintage Warmer, Waves WLM Plus and iZotope Ozone.
