5. You new record is coming on 23rd February “Welcome To The Machine”, can you tell me a bit about the recording and writing process of the record?
When we started to work on this new album, we favored spontaneity and leaving the mind free from concepts and musical directions to take. When we had enough material, we started to see the vibes and atmospheres that these new pieces suggested. At this point we worked on developing the overall concept of the record. Overall, we spent a substential amount of time on the writing and pre-production work. The recording process was fast, 10 days in studio and everything was done. The team and the studio were the same as our previous album “Sphere“.
This new album offers a defined common thread. We wanted to express our doubts about the evolution of our society and the duality which pits man against machines with all the excesses that this already implies today and what this will imply in the near future. Indeed, we partially drew our inspiration from films such as Matrix, 2001 a space oddity and books such as 1984 and Brave New World. Musically we deliberately pushed the electronic side of our sound and opposed it to the purely organic aspect of our music. The pieces on this album are a constant confrontation and fusion of these two aspects.
