[VIDEO] Goth Trad builds a track

In a new video from Dubspot, Japanese dubstep specialist Goth-Trad builds a new track piece-by-piece in Ableton Live, and we get to watch it all happen in real time. The wordless clip finds the veteran artist staring intently at his computer screen as he builds textures, programs drum patterns, and conjures up deep-reaching low end, using Ableton Live, Native Instruments' Battery, Spectrasonics Stylus RMX, and a few other digital tools in the process. In an excellent use of visual FX, the sections of the computer screen that Goth-Trad works in are superimposed onto the video, allowing us to see the man at work while also seeing exactly what he is working on. Dubspot's new piece can be watched in full above

Pretty sick video, good highlighting how simple each beat is but how complex it sounds all together

Like how he let the ambient soundbed and percussion drive the early stages, then used the kick to fill in the obvious spaces for it.

Yeah the screen overlay is good. Don't know why looking at someone's face at the same times it better, but it does!

Keeping individual elements simple has lead to a major breakthrough for me. So much easier to put songs together and build beats that actually work.

I remember reading an interview with him being massively influenced by jungle polyrhythms
