MG ULTRA + X + UGLY ART RETROSPECTOBER (Patreon)

Hello fellow fellas and felletes and... fey/fems...This month is not only the anniversary of MG Ultra AND MG Ultra X: Psychowarrior but ALSO The Ugly Art from all the way back in 2018. So I thought why the hell shouldn't we share more stuff from all 3 records, especially demos and any insights that we can give you into the process of making these albums. Tonight I'm sharing with you the origins of MOTHERFATHER... maybe the MOST controversial Machine Girl song EVER RELEASED... yet...Motherfather started off as an iphone recording of myself playing guitar on a recently acquired nylon string guitar at the time. I also had recently downloaded this plugin called Cassette by Wavesfactory which I started throwing on basically all my ableton synth stuff to get that nice warm lofi feel. These two things paired really well together. I still really enjoy this early version of Motherfather. This track is probably the most glaring example of something I think I over thought and overproduced. It lost the original magic that made me fall in love with it in the first place. I think it if it had kept this much more stripped down sound and vibe in the final version people would have fucked with it a lot more. I was very dead set on making MG Ultra sound BIG and PRODUCED though, so I wasn't really 'listening' to what the song needed, production wise. Anyway, I'll have more demos and stories to share this month, but I hope you dig hearing this early version of Motherfather <3................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................you found me :D
