What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Club Bored?"
The initial idea for the song “Club Bored” came from a night out with friends at an electronic dance club. It was a long and fun night and we also ended up watching live concerts at home.
Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for "Club Bored?"
A big part of the song was recorded fully at night, I started with the vocals around 5 in the morning haha.
What do you like the best about "Club Bored?"
The feeling of freedom and joy. Everything in the song came very naturally. I like how the different melodies work together and how the hierarchy changes. In the end, it evolves into something rough and heavy.
Can you share a bit about your musical background and the journey that led you to where you are today?
I started out as a bass player when I was 11. I still play a lot of bass in different bands. After playing in a pop/rock/punk for several years I got interested in producing music. So I learned how to play guitar and a little bit of keys. My first 2/3 songs were instrumental and the band I was playing in I just helped with the instruments. After a while I started journaling and started using those subjects for songs. I also started recording for other people and doing live sound. All those things together inspire me now to write and come up with different parts. After punk, I got more interested in indie/psychedelic music and the complexity of that. I still like to remain some heavy guitars though!
How do you continuously grow and evolve as an artist?
I try to challenge myself to make new styles of music and try different mixing techniques/plugins etc. I study music production now in The Netherlands and at the study I get challenged a lot to try different styles even world music. I try to apply as much as possible and soak in the environments that I come across. Doing different disciplines within the music industry keeps things fresh for me :)
