What do you consider the most important traits that a song and an album must have before you consider it to be completed? The songs have to tell a story. Take the listener on a journey. What are the actual steps that you take when you are creating? Do you need to enter or go to a certain setting in order to get creative? It usually starts off with a melody hook or a riff. Then we build the song off of that. Whatever’s triggering the idea, whether it’s a beat, guitar riff or a synth chord. Then we’ll start puzzling the song together.
What is your greatest regret? Not learning sooner that it’s okay to be myself.
How long does it take to go from a song to an album from scratch to the fully recorded version? I think it's all dependent on how much you work on it. For me I think 8 months to a year is a suitable time frame. Usually when I think a track is complete, I will go for a week to a month, months of not working on it at all, and revisit it later to see if I feel it needs to be developed more.

I know there has been some time since my last post but I had a really busy no lifer schedule playing World of Tanks. But since I’ve taken a break before a 4 am Stronghold attack I will bring for you one of the greatest trip hop / chill out / dub / jazzy / electronic albums in recent history, The Richest Man in Babylon by Thievery Corporation.
