The Donkeaetta by Sergansborg

The song has a basic pop structure, which is just about 99 % of all my cheka songs. I've got four back beats playing over the top of each other on this song. Buts i was kind of going for like, o, you know, 70 sort of kind of gospel church choir a little bit here. It really does conjure up sergansborg and and his work.

Episode notes

In this episode, John links up with Chet Faker aka Nick Murphy, to talk about how he wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Hotel Surrender’.

Diving into the tracks initially found within one of his numerous demo playlists, Nick looks back on his variety of music making processes, sharing thoughts on slingshotting around different creative mediums and maximising inspiration.

From scrapbooking and self-sampling to a great deal of file management, we’re treated to stories of productivity-inducing gear limitations and tricks to get strange harmonic options, all alongside advice on putting music out, taking criticism and simply being the best you can be.

Listen to find out how many cowboy monologues were recorded for the album, why you shouldn’t rollerblade in music videos, and how to appropriately react when you’re given Ableton and not Acid Loop Pro.

Tracks discussed: Oh Me Oh My, Low, Feel Good
