Our songs come to life through a creative and structured process that allows us to develop our ideas step by step:
The First Riffs:
Most of our songs start with riffs created during jam sessions or my morning practice routine. I record these ideas right away and save them for later use.
Building the Framework:
From these initial ideas, we create a basic framework, which we further develop and refine in our studio. This is where we shape the songs in detail. Once the framework is solid, we record everything in this stage.
Adding the Details:
Using the base song as a foundation, we start composing guitar layers and adjusting the arrangement. This step adds depth and character to the track.
Writing the Lyrics:
Lyrics usually come later in the process. I keep a list of themes and ideas that come to mind, which I draw from to write lyrics that fit the mood and message of the song.
Recording the Vocals:
When the lyrics are ready, we record the vocals. After that, all audio tracks are edited to ensure everything fits perfectly together.
Mixing & Mastering:
The final stages involve mixing to balance and enhance the sound, followed by mastering to give the track its polished, finished quality.
