Скачать или смотреть Juno 3: Proxemics, a mix breakdown

This is a behind-the-scenes mix breakdown. If you just want to listen to music (and who could blame you), please listen to the original track:

   • Juno 3 (Han-earl Park/Lara Jones/Pat Thoma...  

Are you still here? Okay, Juno 3: Proxemics was mixed into multiple buses (including parallel processing of ‘melodics’ and ‘environmentals,’ for example) before hitting the master bus. One of those buses was fed a mix of the bass signals from each performer. How the bass was separated was somewhat different, in each case, depending on the nature of the electronics, for example, or the instrument (e.g. clean v. fuzz guitar).

Folk have asked me about my mix strategies in approaching experimental and improvised musics, and here’s a little window into how I approached some of the problematics (I mean that in a positive, creative sense) in this one. I’ve said that, in regards to Proxemics, there’s a different album that lives in parallel, and that’s partly because there’s separate mix (with its own automation and processing) in the bass/subs.

Hope you find this breakdown interesting and illuminating. Please hit me with questions.
