SB19:
So ‘Simula at Wakas’ basically translates to English beginning and ending. So when we were first conceptualizing our EP, we have this question in our minds, how are we going to be able to exceed what we’ve done before? How are we going to exceed our best or our maximum potential? So when we started creating the EP, or giving a title to the EP, we’ve thought of the question, what if this is the ending? What if this is going to be the last? What are we going to do, and what if this is the beginning? We’ve started our goals. We’ve set our goals and our genes. So how are we going to start it? That’s why we entitled the EP ‘Simula at Wakas’ because we didn’t want to close the trilogy of EPs doing, not doing what we wanted to do. In terms of producing the song “DAM,” we had a really big or crazy idea in terms of creating the music. We wanted to make the music more cinematic than before, so we’ve incorporated instruments that make it feel really big and epic. And in terms of doing the vocals and adding layers to it, we really ensure that everyone will be able to highlight their, you know, utmost ability, like for example, Stell has the highest vocal range amongst the group. So I really tried to, you know, utilize his vocal range to the point that it go dizzy when he’s saying that part, those kind of things. And for Ken, he has the deepest voice, so we try to utilize that as well.
Keep watching for more!
