Warburton On the Making Of “Hurricane”
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind "Hurricane" and the story it tells?
Writing the album was really essential to processing my feelings about troubles within some personal relationships, as well as troubles in the relationships of some people close to me. The album really came together with the title track “ hurricane”, it gives a feeling of hope that most things will be okay and that ups and downs in life are normal”.
How did you work with the producer or engineers to bring your vision for this song to life?
Me and Jon Savard sat down with a coffee a couple of times before starting the recording process and talked about albums we love the sound of. Everything we did in the studio was really a deliberate move towards the whole album sounding the way it does.
How does "Hurricane" fit into your overall artistic vision and what can listeners expect from you in the future?
I think "Hurricane" as a song feels like a bit of hope at the end of an emotional album. Previous Warburton releases have been guitar forward/focused, but this album incorporates more melodic instrumentation such as pianos, synths, organs, etc. I have already started writing for the next record and I think the sound is going to involve even further. expect unusual sounds and effects.
Can you tell us more about you as an artist?
I am an Australian Artist and Composer based out of Toronto Canada. Warburton is my current main project, though I also release orchestral music under the name Tecumseth.
What is your songwriting process like? How do you usually start crafting a new song?
Warburton songs usually start with me playing guitar while watching tv. Sometimes I will come up with a chord progression and a song will come together very quickly, which is what happened with "Hurricane". But most times, I come up with a chord progression or a riff and then just work on it over a few days or weeks in my little home studio.
