Anatomy of a Song Series 2: Trinity Roots – ‘Little Things’
Anatomy of a Song is a radio series produced by RDU 98.5 FM in Christchurch, which explores the sounds and processes used to produce a recorded song, using classic tracks from well-known New Zealand musicians. Each episode sees Spanky Moore at a mixing desk with an artist to dissect the different elements of one of their tracks, and to get under the hood of what it is that makes that song special. First up in this second series, it’s Trinity Roots’ 'Little Things’.
