1 body, 2voices, 2 objects and 1 TB03.
In this video, Ain TheMachines shares in details his technical process and anecdotes from the creation of the track.
Music
“U Right and U Know It”, is an energetic, bright ride of surprising samples and distinctive, trippy sounds. The track begins with a rich chorus of vocals then quickly amps up the gears with a four-on-the-floor kick made by recording hits to a contact mic on the chest. This creates a deep bass kick sound that gets the song dancing. Using a strip of Velcro to create a persistent hi-hat and a pen on an empty pill bottle Ain layers a landscape of lush sounds in often the most surprising ways. We are invited into an assembly of surprising samples that Ain uses to create the entire beat. The TB-303 synth gives the track a psychedelic glimmer of spacey, wobbly echoes, bringing us into a bouncing club feel. As the track quickly evolves we hear the vocals repeat the title of the track in our ears. The vocals were recorded at a live show, where Ain placed a mic for audience members to sing when they felt inspired. One audience member, Vita Mina, stood out, with a melody of buoyant, self-assured lyrics that seem to encompass the overall vibe of the track. If you’re right and you know it! A truly enjoyable track to experience the exciting and inspiring methods of music creation!
