Floyd Joynes On the Making Of “Arrival”
What was the creative process like for this particular single "Arrival?"
The creative process for Arrival was very organic. I entered into a flow state and the music just poured out of me.
What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Arrival?"
What led to the creation of Arrival was the initial desire to create a meditative, ambient type track. I started off with some pads/strings and the rest of it just flowed out of me.
Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for this single?
The most memorable moment for me was when I felt like the production was done and I pulled a drum machine to experiment with different kick patterns. Before I knew it, the 2nd half of the song was born. It's essentially a meditation type track and film score combined!
Are there any future plans or projects related to this single that you're excited about?
This is the first single for my upcoming Album "Kaleido Dreams" which is set to release at the end of August.
How do you continuously grow and evolve as an artist?
What helps me expand and grow as an artist is me continuously striving to learn my instruments better and listening to music that stretches me and inspires new ways of creating.
