Submerse and Resketch are originally from northwest England but are now living in London, releasing tunes separately and together on a bewildering array of labels: Formant, Well Rounded, Fortified, Night Audio and L2S. You can catch these guys all over the UK and Submerse will be touring the US in November, so get on it. Additionally, I’ve met them both and they are certifiably very nice.
This tune is coming out on Whistla’s L2S record label, so keep an eye out.
Submerse & Resketch – Get away (Forthcoming L2S) by submerse
1. How’d you come up with the name of the track?
Goes from the lyrics in the track also fits the mood we were going for. Nice combo!
2. How long did it take to create?
Overall about 6 hours over 2 nights
3. Were you sober?
We were high on life haha!
4. Was there a separate recording/mixing?
After we got all the sounds, ideas etc. we did the mixdown last and spent about 1 to 1 and half hours on the mix. We just treat it as 2 seperate tasks.
5. Did you master it?
No. We put a limiter on the track, then did a flat mix to be masterd if the track gets picked up by a label.
6. What sequencer did you use?
Ableton Live
7. How’d you make the bass?
Used a VST. Sub heavy sine wave with 3 oscillators, de-tuned one of the oscillators using a triangle wave to give it some definition.
8. Any essential virtual instruments or FX?
Dont want to give to much away but we use the Waves plugg ins. They get used every tracks for EQ, Compression, Reverb, Analyzers and Limiter.
9. Did you use hardware? If so, what bits?
No we didnt use any hardware in this track.
10. Did you play in your parts or draw them in?
Drew the parts in. We Looped part of oringinal melody then just just worked around it.
11. Did you record any acoustic instruments? If so, which ones, and what was your setup?
No, not in this track.
12. What are you most proud of?
The sound of the madagascan marmoset, we traveld six hours throught the rough jungle tarain just so we could record its battle cry…. haha
Thats not true by the way.
The whole outcome of the track is what we are most proud of. When we orginaly started the track we went for a 8-bit lead and aimed for a quite heavy electronic track. When making the break down we couldnt really figure out where to go with it so we put some strings down. We found they complimented the vocals a lot more and decided to base the whole track around that feel.
13. If there are things you dislike (you’re not obligated to mention them) do people notice?
Not really if there is something that sticks out that we are not really happy with we would just take it out. The best part of doing tracks together is we have 2 differnt view points so we dont keep an element of the track unless we are both happy with it.
Bonus Question: Is there anything else you think readers will find interesting?
The vocal that says “Get Away” was just the word that sounds like “Away” Reversed to make it sound like “Get” Then we placed them close to each other!
In process of making the track we both had visions in our minds of an empty beach. This came from the strings and the vocals, i think at the time we really wanted to get away from the small town we both live in! Also we had ideas of Monkey butlers bringing us freshly made pina coladas! This was a serious motivation for the track in our hopes that one day our dream may come true!
