Episode notes
Immersion Built From Detail
- Lucrecia Dalt crafts immersive recordings by obsessing over tiny details and coincidences in the studio.
- Early listening experiences and parental hi‑fi exposure shaped her desire for enveloping soundscapes.
Making In A Remote, Intimate Space
- Dalt made this record while living in a remote space with her partner and surrendered to daily obsessive work.
- That intimacy and a flourishing relationship made the album more lyrically personal than her prior concept-driven records.
Songs Born From Drum Loops
- Percussionist Alex sent raw drum loops that already contained much of the musical information for several tracks.
- Dalt built songs like 'Cosa Rara' around those loops and then added bass and melodies on top.
