mwtm.org/rostam-clairo Watch Clairo and Rostam deconstruct the inspired production behind Clairoās indie-pop hit, āBagsā.
Surrounded by sunlight in Rostamās studio in Los Angeles, the two musicians look back on their experiences working together on Clairoās genre-bending debut album, Immunity. Their creative chemistry is present throughout the series, as they unpack the original ProTools session for the albumās alt-pop single. Together they zoom in on the distinct vocal and instrumental performances delivered by Clairo during the demo process, as well as some of the outlandish production techniques used by Rostam to elevate the songās simple structure.
The series does not only cover the technical details - it also ventures into some of the more complex psychological aspects of record-making. As they trade stories from the recording process, the duo riff on the importance of building confidence and trust in the studio, and the value of trusting your instincts when the going gets tough.
It all comes to a close with a conversation about the finishing process. Clairo and Rostam discuss how they cherry-picked a team of mix engineers that inspire them, and how they distributed different songs to different engineers in order to create an album that is diverse, adventurous, and unique.
