Why are Creative Camps necessary? It's often very difficult to find time for creativity because the everyday worries and other mundane tasks take away focus, and inspiration never has the chance to come.
Creativity is not a mechanical task that can be easily interrupted by other activities and then picked up again immediately. A creative camp allows you to step away from the constant flow of information and finally start "digesting" what you already have inside, without being overwhelmed by additional streams of news. This is where lyrics and music are born.
We traveled to the Miškiniškės homestead, located in a beautiful part of Lithuania — Aukštaitijos National Park. We stayed in wooden log cabins. At the same time, we invited our friend and producer Vegard from Norway to join us. He liked the idea.
Every day for the entire week, work started at 9:30 AM. Lunch was at 3:00 PM. The workday ended at 11:00 PM, sometimes later. Speaking of lunch, it was a highlight of each day because we were served dishes made entirely from local ingredients. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful.
We set up the sound studio in the hall. To avoid a strong echo, we hung up blankets and brought in spare mattresses from the beds, which really helped a LOT. So, welcome to the "Mattress Studio"!
We fully completed four new songs! A few more were started but remain unfinished. We are incredibly satisfied with this camp. It's hard to capture the whole experience in a video, but we’re sharing it here as part of our story. We’re not afraid to show our imperfect creative process, where we search for melodies. We’ll see where the future takes us.
