The record is meticulous, but there’s a warmth and sense of play that isn’t often heard in sounds that snap to the grid. Nick Sylvester spoke with producer Joel Ford about how he and his partner Daniel Lopatin, AKA Oneohtrix Point Never, recorded the album.</p></div></div><div rbma-video-block=\"\" id=\"body-1\" block=\"block\" class=\"block block-video alignment-left ng-scope ng-isolate-scope\" ng-class=\"paramsClasses\"><!-- ngIf: videoID && !withOptions --><div class=\"video-frame ng-scope\" ng-if=\"videoID &amp;&amp; !withOptions\"> <!-- ngIf: !showPoster || !block.poster --> <div ng-init=\"showPoster = true\" ng-click=\"showPoster=false\"> <!-- ngIf: showPoster && block.poster --><div class=\"video-frame__poster has-video-play-button ng-scope\" ng-if=\"showPoster &amp;&amp; block.poster\"> <div class=\"fill-container ng-isolate-scope\" background-image=\"true\" rbma-image=\"block.poster\" style=\"background-image: url(&quot;https://media.redbullmusicacademy.com/assets/MTMwMTU4MDY4ODA4ODQ4NjU4.6751323b.jpg?auto=format&amp;w=300&quot;);\"></div> </div><!-- end ngIf: showPoster && block.poster --> </div> </div><!-- end ngIf: videoID && !withOptions --> <div class=\"figure__caption\" bind-compiled-html=\"block.video.caption|inlinemarkdown\"><span class=\"ng-scope\">Autre Ne Veut - Counting</span></div> <!-- ngIf: withOptions --></div><div rbma-text-block=\"\" id=\"body-2\" block=\"block\" class=\"block block-text style-normal ng-scope ng-isolate-scope\" ng-class=\"paramsClasses\"><div bind-compiled-html=\"block.text | markdown\"><p class=\"text-question ng-scope\"><strong>How did you get the Autre Ne Veut record to sound so loose and lively?</strong></p></div></div><div rbma-quote-block=\"\" id=\"body-3\" block=\"block\" class=\"block block-quote alignment-right size-medium ng-scope ng-isolate-scope\" ng-class=\"paramsClasses\"><blockquote> <div ng-bind-html=\"block.text | markdown\" class=\"ng-binding\"><p>There is life inside of every synth sound.</p></div> <!-- ngIf: block.source --> </blockquote></div><div rbma-text-block=\"\" id=\"body-4\" block=\"block\" class=\"block block-text style-normal ng-scope ng-isolate-scope\" ng-class=\"paramsClasses\"><div bind-compiled-html=\"block.text | markdown\"><p class=\"ng-scope\">Arthur [Ashin, AKA Autre Ne Veut] came in with most of the songs in demo form and it was our job to bring them to life. I borrowed some V-drums from a friend and we set up a full-on “MIDI band” in the live room. Dan and Arthur had analog and digital keyboard and sampler stations connected to my laptop sending and receiving only MIDI. We monitored everything through a big PA setup – but really I was only recording information. No sound. This gave us incredible sonic flexibility [and the ability] to change any sound at any time. Most importantly though was how the arrangements fell into place via our “live” jamming. After we tightened up arrangements and settled on synth and drum sounds, I would then bounce all the MIDI information to stems and create new sessions on the main studio machine. From there I would play back the entire track and record actual audio using the console and other outboard gear, room sounds, pedals, etc.</p>\n\n<p class=\"text-question ng-scope\"><strong>What are some specific moments on the Autre Ne Veut record that, in your opinion, couldn’t have happened without the live-jamming process?</strong></p>\n\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">I think it’s evident in extended instrumental moments or outros where the music cruises into the clouds.</p>\n\n<p class=\"text-question ng-scope\"><strong>What kind of post-processing do you do on software synthesizers to make them sit bigger or better?</strong></p>\n\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">Anytime something is sounding too digital or thin, we’ll run it through tape amps or tube-mic preamps. It’s all contextual though. Sometimes a harsh digital sound is desirable and makes the music unique.</p>\n\n<p class=\"text-question ng-scope\"><strong>On the Autre Ne Veut record and the Ford &amp; Lopatin record from a couple of years ago [<a href=\"https://www.mexicansummer.com/shop/ford-lopatin-channel-pressure/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Channel Pressure</em></a>], you have a very distinct sound palette – sounds that, frankly, people might avoid.</strong></p>\n\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">I love exploring the worlds of sound in both outdated and brand-new synthesizers. Dan is really good at staying on top of new synth tech and he keeps me informed. There is life inside of every synth sound though. I especially love when older keyboards clearly attempt to emulate real instruments and completely fail.\n<br><br>\n<em>A version of this article appeared in </em><a href=\"https://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/dailynotenyc\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily Note</a><em>, a free daily newspaper distributed in New York during the 2013 Red Bull Music Academy. </em></p></div></div></div> <div class=\"body text-layout--center\"> <div class=\"meta meta--story mw-l is-centered--h\"> <div class=\"fl pr-l\"></div> <!-- ngIf: doc.firstPublished || doc.authors.length --><p class=\"oh pt-xs ng-scope\" ng-if=\"doc.firstPublished || doc.authors.length\"> <!-- ngIf: doc.authors.length --><span class=\"meta__author ng-scope\" ng-if=\"doc.authors.length\">By <author-link authors=\"doc.authors\" class=\"ng-isolate-scope\"><!-- ngRepeat: author in authors --><span ng-repeat=\"author in authors\" class=\"ng-scope\"><!-- ngIf: authors.length > 2 && !$first --> <!-- ngIf: authors.length > 1 && $last --> <!-- ngIf: author.type == 'document' --><a class=\"underlined ng-scope ng-isolate-scope\" ng-if=\"author.type == 'document'\" rbma-lazy-title=\"\" slug=\"author.document.typeSlug.split(':')[1]\" pagetype=\"'author'\" href=\"/author/nick-sylvester\">Nick Sylvester</a><!-- end ngIf: author.type == 'document' --><!-- ngIf: author.type == 'name' --></span><!-- end ngRepeat: author in authors --></author-link></span><!-- end ngIf: doc.authors.length --> <!-- ngIf: doc.firstPublished --><span class=\"meta__date ng-binding ng-scope\" ng-if=\"doc.firstPublished\"> <!-- ngIf: doc.authors.length --><span ng-if=\"doc.authors.length\" class=\"ng-scope\">on </span><!-- end ngIf: doc.authors.length --> July 25, 2013 </span><!-- end ngIf: doc.firstPublished --> </p><!-- end ngIf: doc.firstPublished || doc.authors.length --> </div> </div> </div> </article> <structured-story-data><div ng-bind-html=\"trustedHtml\" class=\"ng-binding\"><script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"Article\",\n    \"headline\": \"Workflow: Joel Ford on Autre Ne Veut’s Anxiety | Red Bull Music Academy Daily\",\n    \"image\": \"https://media.redbullmusicacademy.com/assets/d58283cd.35ee4c33.JPG?auto=format&w=800\",\n    \"datePublished\": \"2013-07-25T07:00:00Z\",\n    \"description\": \"\"\n  }\n  </script></div></structured-story-data> </div></div>  <!-- ngIf: isPreview --> </div> <!-- ngIf: doc.additionalMarkup --></div> <notification><!-- ngIf: !waitingForScroll && !notification.dismissed && notification.data.showNotification --> <!-- ngIf: notification.sitsInline --></notification> <!--[if lt IE 9]>\n    <script src=\"scripts/oldieshim.16d1f762019.js\"></script>\n    <![endif]--> <script src=\"scripts/\"></script> <script src=\"scripts/\"></script> <script src=\"undefined?forceLang=en&amp;linkColor=999&amp;bgColor=000\"></script>  ","slug":"/2013/07/workflow-autre-ne-veut","metaImage":"d58283cd.35ee4c33.JPG","description":"The Red Bull Music Academy Daily is the online publication by the Red Bull Music Academy, a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music.
