This song started with the vocals from Ghosthack. Next I built a chord progression. In fact, I over built it and lost my way for a while. I eventually came back. i Added live instruments (bass, acoustic and electric guitars) and also used some samples from looperman for effect.
I wanted to use the vocals and the lyrics to build the song from the singers point of view, while using the tools at my disposal.
It took me a few months on and off to complete it. The most difficult task was to simplify it after over-orchestrating the chords.

Making electronic based music is no easier than any other writing. You still need to go through a process of shaping, chipping away and re-shaping.
For the music nerds, some of the VSTi's i used:
Thanks for having a look. Hope you got something out of it.
