    I remember a while ago reading about how he recorded for emma, forever ago. he used a cheap audio interface and a free version of pro tools. he also used a 120 dollar ribbon mic for recording a lot of it. he also used an e bow and a chacon. really not a lot of gear, especially not expensive gear. he was really sick and his girlfriend broke up with him and kicked him out and his band kicked him out. he packed up all his stuff and left north carolina and went and stayed at his families hunting cabin in wisconsin in the winter and stayed there by himself where he wrote and recorded the album. one of his friends who he showed it to mixed it and put it up on tumblr without him knowing and the rest is history. inspiring story.

      What is a chacon? Also, he used an SM57 for the album :)

    these are incredible. love how you synthesize all these elements and are still able to make something that isn't just derivative but sounds like you! 10/10

    Been wanting to mix Bon Iver inspiration into my music for the longest time and this really helps to nail down exactly how and why Justin's music sounds the way it does. Great video!

    Had a song stuck in my head all day but just the “on the mantelpiece” line and couldn’t for the life of me remember where it was from…and then it clicked. It’s such a great tune and testament to you guys nailing the brief.

    There's an interview (I think on Kimmel) where he says he used the M1 for the beth/rest sound but they're both super close - great vid

    • @haleys_hus
      @haleys_hus 7 місяців тому

      yep! in the album stems, there’s a note with the patches that were used - i think the 2 r ‘super e.p.’ & ‘analogpad2.’ bruce hornsby also loooooooved the m1 stock piano sounds; u can hear them everywhere on the way it is & other songs on the record

    • @haleys_hus
      @haleys_hus 6 місяців тому

      it's 'pad piano,' not 'super e.p.,' apologies -- it's the same sound, just treated differently

    Damn, the high pitched samples in mantelpiece sounded like James blake too! Kinda funny since james got to work on iMi in vernon's last album i,i.
    Anyways, I was craving for some bon iver songs and this video scratched that itch! I know im late but this shit is AMAZING. Thanks for putting so much effort into it! subbed.

    • @frederiksrensen6116

      A lot of the sound of 22,a million is also very much inspired by Vernon’s prior collaborations with Blake , and also just them hanging out lol.

    You are mistaken, the Beth Rest Sound is a Korg m1, it's one of the stock presets called hyper pad and sounds nothing like what was used here. Any google search would have pulled that up. Rest of the video is neat.

    80s soft rock ballad?... well, Mr Pirate, I'll have you know Hornsby played accordion with the Grateful Dead. Though, you know, your "Time is up" rendition was extraordinary in how it evoked his vibe. Seriously, nice job with that
