So Dead Question have been working away at recording material though the year, this process started around February time, it has has been shrouded in secrecy, also we have been wanted to hold back the press due to it having a very uncertain time frame. But, this is all of the info that we have to show! we have 8 songs done, and another 2 songs too go for us to have a full product! hear are some snaps.
The studio process has been very interesting, in the process of listening back to our material and forming stronger oins and Ties within us as a band. Hear is some our demo material that we have been working with for creating material for the album.
When writing material, we work in a very structured way, generally, David and Oscar will have something written what they give to me and Jamie to work parts out for then we go to the practice room and tweak the material so that it works well as a full band song so there are generally 3 different recordings of each song when it is in it formative process, one which is one instrument and maybe some rough lyrics, then one that has more contextual information with drum and bass parts, then the final structured version that we use to go to the studio and gig with. This means that practice at home and development of the parts is made easier and it means that we have something as reference if we forget sections or structures . For example on Riddim 062, David wrote the structure and the parts, but when we where in to practice room, we all collaborated and adjusted our parts and the structure so that it worked better as a song for all of us and for the band and the version that we have on the soundcloud list is the most correct version yet, but we may adjust it a little bit more the studio.
this is an example of one of our structures for when we write, its a little hard to read, but we go for a Structure, Form and Bars approach.
