professorglum asked: I'm obsessed with those string sounds in the chorus of "Rising." They almost sound like a Mellotron! How did you achieve that effect?

Thanks! I recorded my friends from yMusic for all the chamber stuff. I recorded them together, and usually combined takes for a denser sound. I wrote that stuff so fast I honestly can’t remember the details of what else I did with that song. One thing I do remember is recording Rob Moose, the violinist, play the parts of the chordal movement at one octave, then digitally tuning them down. After that, I did the opposite (playing low then tuning up) and combined them. I think that’s what we did.
