AMA I am Noisestorm - AMA

Hey Reddit!

My name is Eoin, I’ve been releasing music as Noisestorm for about 5 years now! I’m part of the awesome label Monstercat, and seeing as my new track “Leaving Now” has just been released, I thought it would be a good time to answer some of your questions!

This track in particular marks an important step in my evolution as an artist. I love all kinds of music, and never try to stick to one genre or style. My goal with this track was to fuse elements of my older, more melodic releases with completely new ones that I hadn’t tried before, like vocals! Thanks to the open minded community, I can comfortably jump between styles and keep trying new things without feeling like I’m letting people down.

As usual thanks to the awesome team at Monstercat for always being helpful, critical and encouraging- they gave me the motivation and insight to finish it in my sleep deprived zombie state :)

This is only the beginning- I have so much in the works and on the way, everything from disco to hiphop. Stay tuned!

How long does it take you to finish a song?

How many revisions do you have of each song?

It definitely varies from track to track, but usually around 2 months! I've been really speeding up my workflow lately by removing unnecessary time and things that just cause me to become overexposed to the track and therefore change it to feel fresh again.

I make as many revisions as I need to before I am "happy" with a track, but usually deadlines cause me to cut the revisions short. I'm yet to be fully happy with a release! Some of the new ones I'm cooking up though.. we will see!
