Ghost Circuit: how this track was built
Every Bitphr3ak track starts as a conversation with the machine.
The prompt chain
For Ghost Circuit I ran three separate generations: one for the main riff, one for the drum backbone, and one for the atmospheric pad that sits underneath everything.
Mangling the output
- Pitched the pad down two semitones
- Ran the riff through tape saturation until it bit
- Chopped the drums and reassembled them by hand
The mix is intentionally harsh. If it doesn't hurt a little at high volume, it's not finished.
