I wrote the bulk of the melody and chord sequence of this song while wearing a sling after shoulder surgery a few months ago. That led to a somewhat different type of process for me where I recorded simple melodies one-handed (… yeah - who am I kidding; all my melodies are simple).
Even though this track doesn’t have any Nord sounds on it, the NS3 always plays a big part for me. I play the keys for a lot of the synth parts on it and record the MIDI and then print the audio from other hardware or plugins. The NS3 has a wonderful keyboard and has inspiring sounds that help with the process.
This video attempts to show some of the parts and pieces that went into the track. I have additional explanations in the description within YouTube.
The mastering was done by Shawn Hatfield
