My Other Sister (Side B)

The second half of My Other Sister takes a different approach to its counterpart, with almost all the non-vocal sounds generated using a defective dictaphone. The notable exception to this is "Failed to Send", which was created by tuning a radio through a step filter, then tracked with MS-20 and Moog Minitaur synths. The vocals were recorded using that same dictaphone's internal mic and shifted down in pitch (depending on the track, between 100 and 400 cents). This was the method of "depersonalising" my voice in these songs. The final track "Auld Time" is a semi-improvised piano piece recorded using the dictaphone mic, bounced to cassette and then re-digitised.
