Geezzup On the Making Of “The Illusion Of Life”
What was the creative process like for this particular "The Illusion Of Life?"
For this project, I wanted something new. I started by composing without guitars. I only did the guitars at the end, after the vocals. The version without guitars is nice but the guitars are what make this project unique.
Can you talk about the recording and production process for "The Illusion Of Life?"
All the recording and production have been made by me. Writting, Recording, Mix, Master, all designs and lyrics video. I'm actually doing everything alone and now I'm starting searching for help because the tasks are bigger.
What are you most proud about this track?
Mainly, it's that I'm finally able to express myself. I've worked a lot on myself the last two years and now I can channel all the torments I have inside into a piece of art. This is actually Therapy for me. I'm also proud that it's my first release that I do the Vocals. Started a year ago and worked hard.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?
I've been playing music my whole life but only started recording myself 6 years ago. I started my main project The Sheep Destroyer Crew. A mix of Metalcore and Melodeath. After a while, I was in need of more extreme stuff and I created a Black Metal band called Misanthropic Therapy. Both will have releases coming this year and next year.
What role do you feel emotions play in your music, and how do you channel them into your performances?
I do music as a therapy. I literally get a piece of me out in art. Every song reminds me of a specific event in my life. It's not only in the lyrical part but in the melody and vibration of the song. I had vocals because a song needs to have some. But the music is already talking without it.
