MARTES
"AT FIRST WE JAMMED OVER A FEW IDEAS, FROM METAL TO AFRO-CUBAN BEATS. ONCE THE SOUND WAS FLOWING WE TURNED TO SOMETHING DISCO" - Diego
"THE LYRICS ARE ABOUT EXPOSING SOMEONE'S PARTNER AFTER THEY DID SOMETHING HURTFUL TO THEM" - Diego
"WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A VERSE BUT WE GOT STUCK 'CAUSE IT STARTED IN ENGLISH. SOON WE REALIZED IT WAS BETTER TO WRITE SOMETHING IN SPANISH. THERE ARE ALREADY THOUSANDS OF SONGS LIKE THIS ENGLISH, BUT NOT AS MANY IN SPANISH." - Diego
"WE DECIDED TO MAKE A BEAT WITH SAMPLES. IN THE END THE SNARE IS A PALM TREE, THE KICK IS ME HITTING THE TABLE, AND THE HIHAT ARE SOME GRASSHOPPERS." - Diego
"I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO BREAK OUR MUSICAL PREJUDICES. IT'S LIKE PARTICULAR SOUNDS OR STYLES AUTOMATICALLY BRING A CERTAIN EMOTION TO MIND." - Diego
"I SUPPOSE THAT MUSIC IMPACTS OUR MOST SENSITIVE AREAS AND GENERATES SPECIFIC AESTHETIC REACTIONS. EXACTLY THAT IS THE PREJUDICE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO BREAK. THAT IS ALSO WHY IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO INNOVATE; WE ALREADY HAVE STRONG ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SPECIFIC SOUNDS AND THE EMOTIONS THEY CONVEY." - Diego
"TUESDAY WE ADVANCED THE FIRST IDEA, THE DISC0 FUNKY ONE, A LOT. WE MADE TWO VERSES AND ALMOST THE WHOLE FORM. IT HAS A MEGA ENERGETIC FUNKY PRE-CHORUS, EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING IS OVER TWO CHORDS. THE INTRO TO THE SONG IS PRETTY ETHEREAL, SO MAYBE AN INDEPENDENT SONG WILL EMANATE FROM IT." - Diego
"IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE...THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. THE UNO BREAKS WERE EVEN BETTER." - Jp
"LOOKING BACK ON THE EXPERIENCE AND LISTENING TO THE SONGS NOW, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR MYSELF IN ALL THE TRACKS." - Alex
"THE SONGS ARE DIFFERENT TO WHAT I USUALLY MAKE, BUT LISTENING TO HOW MY STYLE CAN BE ADAPTED AND STILL FEEL LIKE I'M IN THERE IS VERY COOL." - Alex
"ADDING MY STYLE TO THE SONGS WAS MY FAVOURITE CONTRIBUTION." - Alex
"WE ATE CECINA, CACTUS AND NOODLES FOR LUNCH THAT DAY. DELICIOUS! AFTER EATING WE PLAYED UNO."- Diego
"THAT DAY WE ALSO CAME UP WITH ANOTHER VERSE AND CHORUS FOR A NEW IDEA. THE VERSE IS A PROGRESSION THAT Jp CAME UP WITH, AND ALEX CAME UP WITH A GOOD B PART SO THAT WE COULD ALL POLISH THEM TOGETHER. SOUNDS A LOT LIKE A BALLD WITH SOLID POTENTIAL.' - Diego

* THROW IN RULE - IF YOU HAVE AN IDENTICAL CARD THAT SOMEONE PUT DOWN, YOU'RE ALLOWED TO "THROW IN" YOUR CARD AND THE NEXT PLAYER IS WHOEVER WOULD COME AFTER THE LAST THROW IN
THE WAY WE PLAYED UNO THAT WEEK:
"I THINK THAT BECAUSE OF HOW CHILL THE SITUATION WAS AND JUST THE OVERALL VIBE OF THE LOCATION OF THE ISOLATION, WE DECIDED TO WRITE POP-ISH MUSIC THAT DESCRIBED HOW WE WERE FEELING." - Jp
"IT WAS A DAY WITH A LOT OF INTERESTING ADVANCES. I BELIEVE THE NEXT DAY MADE THE PANORAMA OF THE SONGS A LOT MORE CLEAR." - Diego
"THAT NIGHT MICHAEL STAYED UP CHOPPING UP THE CHORUS OF THE FIRST IDEA" - Diego
