I have a lot of prior experience making breakcore-influenced production, so I employed my usual workflow whilst pertaining to both ultraviolet but also Paranoia by KENTESHI.
I began with the drum break, beginning with drums is very unusually for me but I like to start with the focal piece of my songs so, when making breakcore, this is normal. I put an amen break I have into the Logic quick sampler and set it to slice so I would get all the individual drum sounds on the piano. Then started placing them in, glitching them out using techniques such as velocity ramps and pitch bending but not making the song unfollowable to match the new wave of breakcore artists.
I then brought in a synth pad preset that I had made a while ago and wrote some chords. After which I created a bass using an 808 preset I made and raising the unison and sustain to create a reese-like bass. I then added a sample from the song third eye by the pillows and pitched it up for a vocal on the song. Once I added a few guitar parts since that was something toyed around with by older breakcore artists (such as Drumcorps which he speaks about in the Notes On Breakcore documentary) and some simple layers to fill out the song it was done.
The breakcore workflow is very unique since, like the Moor Mother track, the focal point are the drums and everything should surround and support them which is very backwards compared to my usual workflow; however its a change I always accept since it leads to very unique results.
