Memoria D'Elefante On the Making Of “Guerra a 2”

Can you share any interesting or unique musical elements or production techniques used in this "Guerra a 2?"

“Guerra at 2" is inspired by Tolstoi’s "War and Peace."

The bass line are the cannon balls and guitar riff an idea of fighting those cannons.

What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Guerra a 2?"

“Guerra at 2" is inspired by Tolstoi’s "War and Peace”.

The book talks about Napoleon war with the Russians. In the end it’s always the same history: there is no peace without a war, unfortunately. We are living this nightmare again with Ukraine.

What do you like the best about this track?

The bass and drums, but mostly the sound and tone of the bass.

Where do you find inspiration for your songs or musical ideas?

As far I remember I don’t have a structured process. I think it all begins most of the time with a simple melody that I imagine in my head. Then I try to convert it to real instruments, normally I start with the bass and kick, then I add the rest. Other times I start creating by sampling jamming / riffing with the guitar.

How do you continuously grow and evolve as an artist?

My sound evolve about integrating peaces of electronic music and strings. I was always a rock fan with a classic song structure in mind: bass, guitars, drums and vocals.

The creative direction was given by Nirvana, Cure, Cult, Jesus and Mary Chain, NIN, Filter, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Queens of the Stone Age and lately Mark Lanegan!
