The Island Without A Name – Writing Music to Poetry

February 21st, 2010 | By Kal

In this blog I’ll be discussing what happens when you already have the lyrics before you’ve written the music. It may seem like something usual, trivial even, but as I mentioned in All I Ever Wanted – The Story So Far, lyrics are something I consider once I have a large chunk of the music [...]

Update – 18 February

February 18th, 2010 | By Kal

I just thought I’d give you guys an update on what’s been happening with us.  It suddenly dawned on me that if you don’t have us on Twitter or Facebook, you wouldn’t have heard about the goings on over the last few weeks! In music news, Rob and I have been working on some new [...]

Studio Day 6

February 1st, 2010 | By Kal

I think I’m running out of superlatives here – seriously! “Studio Day 5! What a day.” Well I can top that, and you will totally understand when you hear the latest versions of our songs. But until they come out, this week, you will have to take my word for it! It all started early [...]

Studio Day 5

January 11th, 2010 | By Kal

Studio Day 5!  What a day. Twelve hours ago, i left my house to embark on a journey across the icy plains of Harlow to meet Rob, who had been held up in traffic.  Somehow, we still made it to Riverway for 2 minutes past 10.  Rock and roll. Before I get into this, you [...]

Lyric Idea: I Am

January 6th, 2010 | By Kal

I tell bad jokes in the morning I am a dichotomy I value respect I think too much I over analyse I don’t save files properly I need telling more than once I might appear arrogant I might say might to soften the blow I ruin the moment through inaction I want someone who knows [...]

All I Ever Wanted – The Story So Far

December 26th, 2009 | By Kal

All I Ever Wanted is the epitome of a Rob and Kal song.  It may not be totally there yet as a sound – hey, it’s not my favourite of the 6 in the songs section – but the way it has developed is a great example of how Rob and I write music. 1) Chord Progression [...]
