Paul: This album, like all our albums, started from the recording of a live show, in this case, the one we did at Instants Chavirés in Paris in January 2019. We had just started to organise events under the banner of the Nahal Recordings label and it was a great evening with Aaron Moore & Erik K Skodvin who rewarded us with a fabulous live show mixing humour, experimentation and emotion...
In short, during the first lockdown, we took advantage of being in a kind of break from each of our respective projects to delve into this recording and edit an album with it. The live concert went on for a good 90 minutes so we had to condense all this into 40 minutes. We simply compiled the best moments! Then we recorded a lot of overdubs, each one at home, which we didn't have the habit of doing before this project. We also had a lot of fun during the mixing with our sound engineer Camille Jamain, which we also took as a moment of composition by playing with post-production effects.
Romain: Because of the lockdown and the seven hundred kilometres that separate us, I couldn’t participate in the album mixing with the others. However, I find that it remains very faithful to the concert and to what I experienced there. So the tone of the record imposed itself on us. If there are a lot of add-ons because of the transition from a live concert to the album format, there are almost no edits inside the pieces.
