synunu from synunu by Unc D, Thin Thicket

'synunu' is a jazztronica banger that pulls from RnB, house & trap. The track was made over a February weekend at my apartment in Cleveland, Ohio.

For that powerful intro, Thin Thicket used the plug-in 'synplant' to craft a spacey, yet RnB slow jam vibe. Thin Thin sequenced the drums in this first section using Ableton Live. I added low bass, as well as my signature MUMBLE JAZZ autotune. The MUMBLE JAZZ on this song is repetitive on purpose, as I wanted to be the anchor on the ever changing beat underneath. Kind of like deja vu.

For that middle section, the ride comes from my Behinger RD-9, a drum machine I used for the Loop There It Is sessions. Thin Thicket sequenced the sustained MIDI bass, and used a sample of his voice to form the melody.

The ending trap section comes from using my Roland MC-101 to sequence drums, 808 bass, and synths. The half time trap feel worked perfectly with the melody, which Thin Thicket pitched and edited to include as ad-libs.

During the making of this song, we used Thin Thicket's laptop speakers, yet produced a mix which required no master.

I INVENTED MUMBLE JAZZ and generally mix instrumental improvisation and electronic beat making.
