cm: How did the idea for this album first materialise? Pedro: "We composed the album in three parts; I presented the first part to Raül which was recorded with a synthesiser. Over this part, he played the organ and then the piano."
Raül: "Pedro came to me with the idea of the record - these were first steps with synths. I thought it was a very interesting record, but he said there was something missing - that the music needed something that I could play on top. For me it was quite a quick process because the flavour was already set by Pedro. What I did a lot was improvise, maybe one or two takes on every song, with both positive organ [an antiquated version of an organ] and prepared piano. I thought it had to be fresh, like something that happened almost in real time."
Pedro: "For me it was super spontaneous too. I approached the synth [Roland System 100] like a piano. I'm not a piano player and haven't played it before really. But I attached a pedal to my Roland, then set it to generate some delays. Then the recording was super-fast and spontaneous. That's when I realised I needed something else. I liked that idea but I thought we could go further and deeper. So I went to Raül."
cm: So Raül, you were able to be totally free?
