about

John gave Shane a track he had worked on for some time, already complete with percussion, synth lines and a little melody. Shane took a vocal sample from another track he was also working on at the time, pitched it to C then began experimenting with it and layering it over John's track, following key but often changing octave. Shane then layered several effects over the vocal, and at times John's music, to try and compliment the musical feel the track already had. This had the effect of creating a new, sometimes spooky feel to the track via the use of Shane's software of choice - FL Studio.

The music for Millionario was recorded at Subterrane Recording Studio. The track actually began when John von Ahlen was playing around on an Oberheim OB-Xa at MESS LTD. The Oberheim was played manually - via it's internal arpeggiator - and the sequences for the chorus and verse were all played by hand.

The Oberheim track was then taken to Subterrane Recording Studio and production proper began. The Oberheim track was tempo mapped in Cubase 9, and the then drums added courtesy of Johns DR-110. The back bone of the track began to take shape and a multitude of vintage synths completed the picture, including Jupiter 4, SH-101, Sequential Circuits Pro One and Korg Delta. The track was sent to Shane who added some amazing vocals to the track, as mentioned above.

A bit of vocoder and computer magic was added to the vocals. The track underwent a few editing and arrangement changes, namely the middle section and finally the track was completed.

Looking back the track it's a great example of the sum of parts being greater than the whole. The original music was good, as were the vocals. But it wasn't until the two were combined, manipulated and mangled that the track actually came to life as something fresh and new.

We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!

- John & Shane

The Clan Analogue collective was started in Sydney, Australia, in 1992 by a small group of people who were interested and active in electronic sound. Largely fuelled by the sore lack of live venues in Australia for electronic music and a lack of options for releasing recorded material, Clan Analogue was born out of necessity. ... more
