"We stuck the record head so it kept on recording over and over on top of itself and played keyboard notes into it to create this ghost repetition melody"

- Colin Greenwood

About this Quote

In this quote, Colin Greenwood is explaining a method used in music production where they purposefully stuck the record head, triggering the recording to continuously play over itself. This produces a layered result, almost like a ghostly repeating, as the very same notes are played on top of each other. To add to this effect, they likewise played keyboard notes into the recording, including a melodic aspect to the repetition. This strategy allows for a distinct and haunting sound to be created, adding depth and texture to the music. It showcases the imagination and experimentation that goes into producing music, and how even small methods can have a big influence on the end product.
