Everyone has a channel that can release their creative energies and we've found that the music is that passion - that exterior channel to release something in us that we can't find in the outside world. Our goal is always to learn this language of music, the more we learn, the larger the expression, to become more unique and personal. More words can let us create more freedom and we always struggle to get our creativity out through our music. We also have to write compelling, emotional songs without becoming too mechanical. We are secure in our songwriting process.
Some songs take a week, others take months.
Uroboric Forms' and 'The Eagle Nature' are rewritten versions of old demo songs whereas 'Textures' and 'Sentiment' were written a week before we went into the studio, spontaneous songs. There's a spiritual foundation in this band. I've been more concerned about it than others. We struggle to understand where this wholeness or big picture of the spiritual world ties into this small little instrument we use to express ourselves on Earth. I question whether our music is our ego, that person caught up in the human drama.
