“Cooler Heads Derail” was my attempt at recording a Krautrock-inspired “freakout” song where I’d be free to improvise. The bass line is pretty simple but it’s actually a bunch of different loops I recorded of myself playing the bass which I then had Ableton Live play back to me at random. I did the same thing with the drum loops (Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0). This was the only take I attempted and I never played it again. I think the crazy and sometimes squeaky synth effect that swirls in and out throughout the song is a preset in Native Instruments’ Massive. It begs to be used again.
