MixWithTheMasters Jim-E Stack Producing Walk Home By Bon Iver [TUTORiAL]
TUTORiAL
Investigate the making of "Walk Home" by Bon Iver. Songwriter and producer Jim-E Stack opens up about his work with Justin Vernon, breaking down how a lo-fi demo evolved into one of the most layered and emotional tracks on SABLE, fABLE.
Written and recorded in a garage in Wisconsin, 'Walk Home' began as a collage of chopped drum breaks, lo-fi synth recordings, and spontaneous vocal melodies. Learn how Bon Iver's team generates song ideas using basic everyday tools, with a focus on capturing magical moments and room ambience.
In the second half of the series, Jim expands on how the song developed at Justin's studio April Base. He walks through the various layers of grand piano, brushed percussion, and pedal steel, as well as the song's enigmatic strings arranged by Rob Moose. Discover their unconventional approach to layering and sound design, and learn how to expand your creativity in the studio using hi-fi and lo-fi production techniques.
