Everything you hear on the album has come in a very natural way. We’re not really talking about music, like: we’re gonna try to go for a darker album, a more heavier album, or more distortioned, or more heavy metal, or so. It seems that what’s more or less happening probably has to do with the music that I composed, and also has a lot to do with the trio, about how we are playing, and how we’re approaching the music that we’re trying to play.
