Most of the production came about in one day.
English musician and producer Jon Hopkins shared his own version of ‘Dawn Chorus’, the original song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke.
About the track, Hopkins commented that he felt a lot of happiness the first time he heard it, and said that he was hypnotized by its sound, so he decided to appropriate it with his own style.
‘I thought there was so much beauty in that chord sequence that there was room to explore it on the piano and see what came out of it. One day in early April, when everything was particularly quiet and surreal outside, I walked into my studio for the first time in weeks and I ended up recording everything in one take. It left it very raw and direct, with only some subwoofers and vocal drones in the background. It was all done in one day and it was a very cathartic experience’, said the artist.
