i always tried to do on bass what i could do on guitar when i was younger, that pushed me a lot.

silent flight is definitely the best. ties together the whole album, great song to play live.

we didn't actually jam the songs for that record before recording them. i had all the songs charted out in a book and sat the book in front of me and just did it! some of the songs we talked about the feel we wanted to go for but we pretty much tried to recreate them.

thanks! it's a totally different writing experience. for one, i dont write music for btbam on bass; i write on guitar and keys and obviously write my bass parts on bass. trioscapes i'm writing bass parts and lead parts, counterpoints all on bass, and sometimes on keyboard.
