Track sequencing

[Rudolf Wagner]

We try to make the message and music of an album flow nicely. What does “flow” mean? We aren’t quite sure ourselves but we know when it doesn’t. 😉

It’s a bit similar to a live show – we probably wouldn’t play a soft ballad, a heavy rock’n’roll song and then a quiet acoustic number consecutively unless there is a conceptual reason to do so, within the message and structure of the songs.

As much as we primarily write in individual songs rather than concept albums we still always have an overarching idea in mind, a story and mindset that ties it all together. So sometimes that requires songs to be in a certain order.

With ORANGE, for example, we always knew we wanted to end with Still A Friend Of Mine so we worked backwards from there. We created “The Future” as an intro to open the doors to an orange experience …

Have a nice evening and thanks for asking 🙂
