[divider]3. SURVIVING THE STUDIO GRIND[/divider]
A full slate of tour dates is enough to keep any artist busy. For Tritonal though, there’s plenty more on their plates than just the festival circuit. Putting out not one, but two radio shows a week with Tritonia and Enhanced Sessions, things can get a little hectic when you figure in time in the studio spent making their own music too.
Two radio shows, which if we’re honest with ourselves we’re finding a bit much. Doing two hour-long weekly radio shows, and tackling remixes, and our visuals, and touring? It’s been a grind.
Luckily, as the co-heads of the Enhanced Recordings label with Will Holland, there’s a stable of talent waiting to help shoulder the load, as they realize that it’s now time to “allow some of the other guys to have their moment.” Soon, this will come in the form of “some of the guys that we’re building up like Estiva and Juventa at Enhanced (our label) coming in on Enhanced Sessions once or twice a month to show what they’re doing in the studio.” Already this has yielded a massive four hour episode to go along with showcasing names that are quickly becoming of the household variety.
With the talent at Enhanced taking some of the pressure off, Chad and Dave now have time to focus their efforts on producing as they put the finishing touches on their Metamorphic III EP as well as music for 2015. That process though is far from well-defined, making for a Tritonal sound that’s constantly evolving.
A lot of the time it’s writing a track, and rewriting a track. We wrote Now or Never six times; there are three versions of that song no one will ever hear. That’s kind of the process, is that there is no process. Every track we approach differently. In fact it’s even boring to go about making a track the same way, there’s nothing inspiring about that.
That very philosophy is what drives Tritonal towards a sound that always manages to seem new. Thanks to a process that has them tirelessly working towards growing as artists, Chad and Dave skillfully toe that thin line between making music that everyone can love and music that stands along as objectively spectacular.
