As you already know we used "Ableton Live". It was mainly for sketching. For recording & mixing tracks we use "Logic Pro" - versatile, powerful, professional stuff. Love it.

Changes in lyrics
2009 07 01
We decided to do it in lithuanian. Here it goes:
geltonais lapais bėga
išsirikiavusios eilutės
ir armijos veidų matytų
tėra tik gražios šiukšlės
sėdi
ant aukščiausio medžio šakų
po tavim
marios melų
laba diena, dabar šalin karūną
lengviau kvėpuot tau čia nebūnant
užkąskim balto triukšmo duonos
be kalbų
tu gyvas lavonas
geltonais lapais bėga
išsirikiavusios eilutės
ir armijos veidų matytų
tėra tik gražios šiukšlės
sėdi
ant aukščiausio medžio šakų
po tavim
marios melų
laba diena, dabar šalin karūną
lengviau kvėpuot tau čia nebūnant
užkąskim balto triukšmo duonos
be kalbų
tu gyvas lavonas

Lyrics (3/3)
2009 06 04
hello king
now take off your crown
we're better when you're not around
red button's pushed to shut you down
without a talking
you're dead man walking
now take off your crown
we're better when you're not around
red button's pushed to shut you down
without a talking
you're dead man walking

sitting on the highest tree

Composition

Our bass player Paulius sharing his ideas about composition. Simple rule: "you have to generate movement through all the song".
By the way, check out his wonderful band InSearch.

We've got one third of them:
the yellow paper pages
are getting so intensive
an army of familiar faces
is rubbishing my patience
Song
2009 05 12
Whenever we start creating a song, the first thing is the message.
When we know what's on our minds, it's much easier to continue with:
- writing the lyrics;
- describing feel of the song;
- choosing the instruments & effects;
- finding the right tempo, melody, harmony;
- getting the sound you want (while playing, recording and mixing it).
For this song we came up with a problem that really bothers us. It's the media buzz. TV, news papers, radio stations, news portals are full of useless information and artificial sensations, trends, etc. Think about it.

Idea
2009 05 11
Hi,
We have got an idea of making a new song & video. Only this time we'd like to show you how we do it. Why? Because we think you can do it as well, but maybe you just don't know how to start.
We're still not sure how everything is going to work, but the idea is to:
- record the parts of the song in a lo-fi manner;
- picture the process;
- make samples or other audio material;
- post everything here - so you can read, watch, download and do it yourself;
- inspire you to act.
Peace,
Make It Real
