The era is brilliant, one of my favourites so far. Who are the people in Marked by a Memory? is there a story behind this? Thank you so much for continuing the journey of your supreme creativity.

@ylva I truly love era of imperfect memory! After listening I went on a bit of Ylva binge and I must say that I’m truly grateful for both what you’re posting but also how you’re posting it
 it’s is truly inspiring


Especially the way you use vocals!

Ever since I got into making electronic music I wanted to inplement my vocalist background into my music but I keep reaching these weird mental blocks both on the vocal side of things and on the hardware side of things
 how do you go about vocals in songs like the era? Is it played from Octatrack or from something else? How are vocal tracks such as that set up?
Would love to hear your process if you don’t mind!

@MichaalHell thank you very much for listening and for the kind words, its a bit of a broader topic so short answer is that some of the vocals were prepared in a daw and then played from the octatrack (for example in “the era”) and some were processed directly in the OT (parts of “marked by a memory”), i promise ill get back to that when time is on my side and give you a proper answer <3

speaking of time, “timeless” was actually the first 12” i ever bought, didn’t really know what it was back then, i just loved the cover. guess i was really lucky cause i remember the first time i listened to it and how a completely new multiverse of sound and atmosphere has opened up on me

“Timeless” is, indeed, timeless :slight_smile:

Talking about timeless, currently listening and thoroughly enjoying extended play 2 from July 2019. Absolutely amazing!

Besides being timeless one of the things that makes your music so cool to me is how it can fit so many different moods. Like being melancholy and uplifting all at once.
