Behind Sasha’s ‘Involver 2’
Behind Sasha’s ‘Involver 2’
26 August, 2008 | 8.29PMBritish mag IDJ has an interesting piece on Sasha
this month, in which the veteran British DJ discusses the six hard months of work that went into his new ‘Involver 2’ album, called ‘Invol2ver’.
As well as including field recordings of New York’s streets in his mix, Sasha also hunted down 40 guitar pedals on eBay which he then used to design sounds.
Circuit bending too, became an integral part of the final ‘Invol2ver’ mix.
“Bits would be connected to things that they weren’t supposed to be,” Sasha told IDJ.
“They’re covered in all kinds of switches and lights, you press the reset and start with a clean drum sound, then while you’re switching all these switches the sound just disintegrates into these crazy, crazy noises.
“You’re never able to get to the same point twice so we’re constantly recording in the studio making happy accidents!”
