27\/09\/23<\/strong><\/p>\n At the start of the year, we were approached by the Lyceum Young Company<\/strong> to collaborate on their new production The Multiverse Is Gay! <\/i><\/strong>by Lewis Hetherington. <\/span><\/p>\n While the piece is a coming-of-age story about finding yourself over and over again, it is set against the backdrop of time travelling through alternative Universes so, sonically, there was scope to explore different territories.
We wanted to challenge ourselves to create a lo-fi track (a bit Rex Orange County) without notable structural or dynamic shifts that could underpin the establishing scenes \u2013 before we leave the \u2018real world\u2019 and enter the Multiverse. We usually sketch and build tracks using drums and vocals first, so it was a nice change to work with an acoustic guitar and synth to create something light and cyclical that became Friends in the Garden<\/a>. It was a good lesson in trusting our instinct and being selective with sounds to avoid the track becoming unnecessarily muddy.<\/p>\n\n \n
