Recorded at the summit of Picacho Peak, AZ
"In the piece "Can You Hear the Music", Ludwig Göransson employed 21 tempo changes-a large feat for a live orchestra. Originally, Göransson called it "unplayable" and planned to record the song bar-by-bar, but his wife encouraged him to record the song in one take. After much experimentation, the music team achieved this by playing a click into the musicians' headphones before every tempo change. This piece alone took three days to record."
After learning about the process behind this track's creation, I couldn't rest until I tried it out for myself. The resulting arrangement consists of 16 tracks all recorded on either violin or viola, except for one double bass/bass drum track. In the spirit of the original recording, each track (almost) was recorded with a click track in one continuous take.
To simulate the synth ostinato, I used a combination of bowed spiccato and pizzicato. The last half of the track was too fast for the pizzicato, so I slowed the click track and incrementally increased the speed in post production. However, the bowed spiccato and melody tracks are unedited.
Unfortunately, the lead tracks (figurations at the beginning) proved to be much more difficult. I knew they were not possible to play much faster than at around 1:05 in the video, so I planned to repeat that section 7 times and speed it up similar to the pizzicato tracks. However, I quickly learned that my left hand would cramp up after the 2nd or 3rd repetition, and had to resort to copying and pasting the further repetitions after 1:00. While experienced studio musicians can likely play faster than me and for longer, there is no doubt that speed alteration was used in the original track. I am unsure at what point though, and whether they played a longer, slower version of the track in one take or also duplicated sections in post production.

The click track includes 4 preparatory measures in 3/4 before the track starts, and switches from 3/4 into 1 and from 4/4 into 2/4 about halfway through.
