The Backline Podcast - EP. 17: Riffs

About this episode

The episode discusses the process of creating riffs and how they contribute to the songwriting experience.

Ever wonder how we come up with our riffs? As you’ll learn through listening to our music, our riffs and how they “feel” are the backbone of our songs and sound. Most of our riffs are actually co-created, and are brought to life through process. From riffs that were going to be tossed to finding new life, to randomly playing and stumbling on to something usable, to going back through the archives and rehashing old, forgotten riffs - tune in to hear about how we write riffs, and eventually piece them together into a song!
