We're back to our monthly weekend sessions, after a Christmas holiday break.
Nordi followed up on 30th January with "WILD" part of his Atlas series – definitely one of his most experimental and ambitious songs to date!
Stairstep released on his birthday (5th February) an unexpected and intriguing single, "WHO AM I", championing honest lyrics and catchy vocals for the first time ever!

This weekend's session was shorter than usual. Friday evening (30th January) Rafael and Raquel came to London to watch the current Louis CK comedy show. They told me (Miguel) it was such a cracking laugh – They loved it!
After the show, they gave me a lift when returning to Northampton and we arrived close to midnight.

Both our sessions (Saturday and Sunday), we completely focused our attention on "Well" – the darkest and most ominous compilation we've been creating and developing to date 😱

The first session on Saturday (31st January), 3 tracks ("Nothing Goes To Waste", "Dinosaurs", and "Nemesis") were fully restructured by getting rid of a lot of unnecessary sonic ideas that weren't adding anything to the overall themes for the tracks.

The second session on Sunday (1st February) was unique in the sense that we fully took our time to create lyrics together for "Lux". There's an intentional juxtaposition between darkness and light in the message created by Nordi and Stairstep for this song.
For the last hour and a half of this session, we still had enough time to create the instrumental foundation of "Perpetual" – a more hopeful, enchanting and never-ending love song that concludes the batch of conceptual tunes for "Aliança".

Around 3:30pm, Rafael dropped me off at Northampton's train station where I took the train back to London.

The next monthly session (as usual) is scheduled for March. Until then, stay safe fellow monks!
