I have been listening to Polo and Pan’s “Caravelle” quite a lot. I really didn’t understand auto tune and that’s interesting. One of the reasons I like techno so much, is the opportunity to custom craft sounds into perfection, no restrictions of a set of instruments, but every sound you can imagine is possible!
When filters and effects were applied to voices I didn’t like it at first, but listening to Caravelle, I realized that I actually really enjoy the effects and filters that are used. It brings me back to what I like about electronic music; the ability to refine sounds too such a ridiculous detail that the combination of sounds is perfect. All perfectly crafted to set the right tone and atmosphere and to tell the artist’s story.
Enjoying this album so much, I decided it would be fun to make an alternate cover based on the theme and story of Caravelle, and renamed it Seasalt and used this particular bright turquoise because the entire mood of the album was restful, calm and relaxing.
This self-initiated project is also a good opportunity to let the world know I would love to do more stuff for the music industry. Preferably the kind of music that has a lot of money to spend of course!
