I really enjoyed collaborating with the amazing Glaiza DeCastro, Clare Selby and string players from the Royal Academy of Music on this deconstruction of Björk's Venus as a boy for Point Blank Music School

Here are some links to a few of the devices I used:

TAL Audio TAL-U-NO-LX: https://tal-software.com/products/tal-u-no-lx

This track really blew me away when I first heard it, so I really wanted to investigate further.

Rather than trying to stick to native Ableton devices, I was a bit more liberal with third party plugin usage this time.
