Lo-Fi meets Convolution

For this project I wanted to explore some of the techniques used in Lo-Fi hip hop production, as well as the way convolution reverb can be used to modify space in music drawing influence from some of the work of Tennyson.

The piece was composed using samples from Freddie Freeloader by Miles Davis, Juicy by Notorious B.I.G., and an episode of Dr. Phil. The audio was processed with impulse responses for a speaker cabinet, a church, and a sports arena, as well as low pass and band pass filtering implemented in Propellerheads Reason 9. Most of the samples were also heavily time stretched for the resulting artifacts, and some were run through an artificial vinyl dust generator.
