Trenic On the Making Of “The sky always looks the same from my window”
What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "The sky always looks the same from my window?”
All Trenic songs take place in a post-apocalyptic universe, and I was reminded of a scene where a woman looks out of the window and sees the same shattered part of the city, dark, everything unchanged, including the sky. It's quite a melancholic mood, which is also typical of our music :)
Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for this song?
The intro guitar theme was inspired by Tim Henson's picking technique, which is quite difficult. I had to practice a lot before I could finally play it without mistakes, but when I did it was a euphoric feeling :)
What did you enjoy most about making this track?
Perhaps the most challenging thing was to connect the different musical parts. I think the end result is good, it's a coherent whole.
Can you tell us more about you as a band?
This is only our fourth song, but all of them have the same melancholic mood. I think if we tried to make happy music, the result would be the same :)
We figured out that each of these songs takes place in the same world, where an unknown race (this is Trenic) has landed on planet Earth and gifted technology to humanity. In the beginning, everything seemed good, but it ended badly. You can read more about this in the form of a comic sequel on our website: Trenic
Are there any specific themes or messages that you aim to convey through your music?
The lyrics of each song are a reflection on a problem for which there is no really good solution, the problem has been there before and will probably remain there.
This can also apply to our world, for example we think global warming is a problem that humanity doesn't really have a good answer to, but it seems to be going in the wrong direction. Unless the Trenic species actually visits the Earth :)
