John is joined by TOMORA to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album COME CLOSER.TOMORA are an electronic music duo made up of The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands and AURORA. Both have excelled in their fields: The Chemical Brothers’ ten albums helped define electronic music, while Norwegian artist AURORA’s ethereal songwriting has won her a devoted worldwide following. The duo began collaborating when Aurora featured on The Chemical Brothers’ Grammy Award-winning 2019 album No Geography. In turn, Tom produced parts of AURORA’s What Happened To The Heart? (2024). That led to TOMORA and their debut album COME CLOSER.Sitting down at Baltic Studios, they discuss creating the album’s distinctive soundscapes and recording AURORA’s striking vocals. They also introduce John to the vintage synthesiser crucial to the album’s sound, plus answer Patreons’ questions!Tracks discussed: Somewhere Else, I Drink the Light, Come CloserLISTEN to COME CLOSER by TOMORA, AURORA, The Chemical BrothersTAPE ITThanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.Visit tape.it/tapenotes or use the promo code TAPENOTES in the app to get 20% off.QUBE Find out more about Qube membership here.MAKE NOISE PRO AUDIOUse the code TAPENOTES10 for 10% off all Franklin Audio products at makenoiseproaudio.comMUSIVERSALSkip the waitlist and get your discount HERERecorded at Baltic - Studio 2LINKS TO EVERYTHING TAPE NOTES  linktr.ee/tapenotes Intro Music - Sunshine Buddy, Laurel Collective - https://lynkify.in/song/sunshine-buddy/YT47TLFI GEAR MENTIONSDMX 15-80SEventide H3000 HarmoniserNeumann U87 MicrophoneTakstar SM-9Octave-Plateau Voyetra 8MPC60Moog System 55Makenoise DPOLogic Pro X E-MU S-1200 SamplerEMS Synthi AKSElektron MonomachineCong Burn StrokesAbleton LiveOUR GEARhttps://linktr.ee/tapenotes_ourgearHELP SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you'd like to help support the show you can join us on Patreon, where among many things you can access full length videos of most new episodes, ad-free episodes and detailed gear list breakdowns.KEEP UP TO DATEFor behind the scenes photos and the latest updates, make sure to follow us on: Instagram: @tapenotes YouTube: Tape Notes PodcastDiscord: Tape NotesPatreon: Tape NotesTo let us know the artists you’d like to hear, Tweet us, slide into our DMs, send us an email or even a letter.
