Ali Richardson: Fills And Beats From "Death Walk" EP
3685 views | ❤ 0 | 👎 0
Pulled some footage from the GoPro and cut up some of my favourite fills/beats from our forthcoming crowd-funded EP, 'Death Walk'.
I tracked the EP over 2 days in Aberdeen with our friend, Nick Scholey. It was a very relaxed atmosphere that I felt completely at home in. It's probably the most natural my kit has ever sounded, listening back to the mixes has been a truly rewarding experience.
Spent a LONG time writing these parts. Never approached our music in this way before. I was very methodical and learnt a lot about my strengths/weaknesses throughout the entire process.
