about

MC Bumpz is a sort of joke alter ego I created when I was like 15 and discovered the formant shift knob on some auto tune plugin I was messing around with in Logic. I liked the way my voice sounded formant shifted down a few semitones with heavy autotune, especially with some delays for a nice wet kind of vocal sound, and I thought it sounded distinct enough from the way I usually sing that it deserved to be its own character.

He usually shows up on any kind of song that I make using just midi, because for some reason when I make music in that kind of computer based workflow (rather than sitting down and writing a song on an acoustic guitar like I usually do), I often end up making more like R&B, Dance, and Hip Hop oriented stuff.

This song was very much one of those cases, only this time I felt it needed an opposite vocal to go along with it, which again is just my voice, autotuned and formant shifted, but this time up a few semitones rather than down. For my own convenience inside the project file I had these vocal tracks named MC Bumpz and maybeclaire respectively, so that's why the lyrics have those "singers" notated, even though they're both just different flavours of me.
