Thankfully you can't hear me at all in this track, which was inspired by the 1967 Hammer classic Quatermass And The Pit, which was written by the great Nigel Kneale, and directed by Roy Ward Baker. My vocal samples feature the plummy talents of James Donald, Barbara Shelley and Julian Glover, with Andrew Keir as Professor Quatermass.
I trimmed the samples in Audacity, then used LMMS to arrange them into beats, with backing bleeps from the legendary Synth-1. I took presets from two archives: Blade 2, Organ Environment and Thor (from Art Institute Vol.1), and Fallen Into The Abyss and Sedusa (from aMUSEDd Atonal Abstractions). I tiddled with a few of these presets, and left others alone, before using Audacity again for the final mix and mastering. The video footage is from Curious Droid's fascinating documentary on Britain's Black Arrow rocket programme.
