Sampling from previous work finding a word that made me think of being stuck the word was unsure the link is above this was a starting that led to me using repetition layering voices creating a soundscape loop

Taking the sample above led to the development below layering panning vocals with little harmonies and adlibs this felt soothing yet chaotic through the use of repetition reverb delay and distortion and compression. I liked it the repeat the circling round getting lost in a trance as it is playing delivering something  with various textures of voices pitching them to sound deep  to give an underneath texture that lifts the main vocal

Original talking about work
Moving forward I questioned if I could break it with something sounding a bit natural not too routine something none predictable.  I decided to sit and freestyle my feelings of the work and being stuck. It worked when I just allow myself to breathe and let the words write through my mind I often get a  result that begins with to then think about adding or dismantling the words that are there. With the talking it worked in one take. With honesty the delivery it worked and was what I was looking for. Words  I sometimes struggle to find although I could say I trip on some words it feels sincere and authentic and that is what  I wanted.


Talking about the work taking it further sculpting around the sound the sound that was there already was tricky having to listen with headphones take breaks pan the sounds and keep the vocals as natural as possible was important to not let the sound perform but let it be heard in it organic state lifting with eq  this was enough and taking out some of the repetition on the words enabled space for this to work 

Although I feel this contrasted with the repetition where the word unsure is carrying nothing a rhythm and a word to have something so natural as talking truly awakened this although I feel it could be better through continually listening I am happy with the result.
