For this project, I attempted to sonically reproduce the effects of going absolutely insane in space. I started by taking a sound that I had stumbled upon using a tape recorder once, digitized it, and stretched it out to several times its ordinary length. Once I had it sounding very slow and brutally doom-y, I dropped in a cut up sample of John F. Kennedy's speech at Rice University, September 12, 1963, which was the only channel I applied any sort of reverb effects to.

The idea of saturating the track of the speech in reverb was meant to create stark contrast to the rest of the mix, which I attempted to make as dead as possible. The speech, I imagined, would be like the only thing left rattling around inside the astronaut's mind as he went completely mad, with the cold, dead vaccuum of space mere inches away.

After I had established much of the track, I applied a ring modulator that I felt gave the effect that it was always increasing in pitch, and had my good friend Adam Cortez play guitar through the pedal that I circuit bent for this project, while I twiddled the knobs on it, turning his playing into incomprehensible, destructed noise.
