Ghost Circuit: how this track was built

Every Bitphr3ak track starts as a conversation with the machine.

The prompt chain

For Ghost Circuit I ran three separate generations: one for the main riff, one for the drum backbone, and one for the atmospheric pad that sits underneath everything.

Mangling the output

  • Pitched the pad down two semitones
  • Ran the riff through tape saturation until it bit
  • Chopped the drums and reassembled them by hand

The mix is intentionally harsh. If it doesn't hurt a little at high volume, it's not finished.
