LINEARFADE

Dear Abner, thank you for your kind comments, as always. Thank you also for believing in us as a band, and personally, Im truly happy that you enjoy and appreciate our music.

As I mentioned to another friend here, were not kids anymore were at the age of Steven Tyler, hahaha. But 40 and more, years of experience help us first understand what we want to express, and then actually make it happen. Of course, almost everything you hear (except for two or three tracks) has gone through countless hours of work and experimentation. Some tracks only happened once naturally and those turned out to be the most beautiful ones. Youll hear them too, if youd like, now that Im uploading the final masters.

I want you to know that I deeply appreciate your music, and I consider you a great musician. Your opinion means a lot, especially to me, since Ive taken on the entire production of the album. Weve been preparing it for two years now together with the vocals, the adjustments, the pressure, and all the processing work alongside the other friends in the band.

Take care.
With respect,
Chris

Juan, I also sent you the lyrics. I had forgotten to include them. Well, let me explain everything. First of all, once again, thank you on behalf of all of us.

At 1:20, yesthats the point where the track truly gains identity, emotion, and intensity, not only sonically but emotionally as well. Up until then, I wanted it to feel like a transition from something subtle into a much more emotional listening experience. Like the scene weve been waiting for in a film.

At 2:35, its simply Nadines second vocal line processed through chorus, delay, reverb, dynamic EQ, EQ, and Altiverb 6, giving it space and presence, along with Melodyne to tune the vocals into the proper key.

The fade-out is mainly acousticwe gradually reduce the performance itself and then continue the fade on the console. At the same time, we increased the guitar amp volume, placing the microphone close to the monitor so we could capture the distortion feedback you hear underneath.

So thats how this track came together: with a lot of work and several dozen hours of recording. Saluti Chris.

Good morning, Juan. Thank you for the careful listening. The second voice belongs to our bassist, who always performs the backing vocals (and on one track he actually performs the entire song himself). These are the amazing voices we use throughout the whole album, and well also have them on the new one were preparing, "Industrial Stories" at least I hope nothing changes.
Once again, warm greetings and thank you very much for your time. Chris

Thank you, Dan. We were truly very lucky with the vocals. Even though weve been working together for for a long timeat least two years, since the project started-, the performances still excite me every timebeyond just having beautiful voices. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you once again Kayos2!
Best regards,
Chris

Good morning, my friend Danke. Thank you. Im glad the emotional idea of the track came through. Take care, and many greetings, Chris

Good morning, Sayam. Thank you. Here, the main vocals are shared between two singers. It was a deliberate choicemainly for emotional reasons, but also because of tonal balance. Since the track is emotionally charged, it might have felt a bit too neutral with only one voice, even though Steve is an amazing singer.
Thats why, around the 2:30 min, the role shifts to our regular backing vocalist, in order to emotionally change what the listener is experiencing. Because the goalespecially in this kind of musicis not simply for the listener to hear a song, but to feel the world of the track, to step into the role of the performer not as a singer, but as the protagonist within the meaning and emotion of the song itself.

Thank you once again.
