Wasters of Time & Sunitram - Let the Robots

from Coordinate: Collaboration Beyond the Algorithm by Various Artists

/

about

Our first decision was to use Dropbox and share stems as our methodology since we are working on different DAWs. The chord progression and a fairly well formed structure of the rather ambient piece was provided by Martin and Mal beefed it up with some simple kick/snare line as well as a few new sounds. A few elements of the initial track were stripped back by Mal in order to enhance the structural changes. Mal also contributed the lyrics based on the project theme and we both found out that using a text-to-speech program to render the lyrics in robot style vocals would work best for us. We then fitted them musically in the track.
By this point we had what sounded something like a pop song which due to changes in the musical musical arrangement and adding some more aggressive bass sounds was then brought towards the minimal house feel of the final work. The final part of the process was to discuss the final mix. Since we both think that we got picked out well in contributing each other we basically were on the same wave length and had an awesome communication during the whole project so mixing and mastering was a very easy and unproblematic step.
The title of the track „let the robots" was born out of the lyrics and should raise awareness that a lot of things of our daily life are shared and controlled by computers and are available online.
