Gotye
Australian pop musician Gotye talks about the creation of one of his famous songs called “Eyes Wide Open.”
Fill in the blanks after watching the video.
The process of taking a single sound and recording it electronically and turning it into music is referred to as sampling.
Samples from “the musical fence” in outback Australia, formed the basis of the bass line for the song Eyes Wide Open.
The song was then written on the piano, and that is still in the track, but a little bit buried in the mix.
The pedal steel guitar helped capture the sense of a lonely wasteland in the song.
