From Jye Smith (Founder, TMB) and producer of Sonixtrip:
January 15, 2009: Progressive hard rock band Sonixtrip have released their first EP entitled Act I: Every Horizon. The full 5 track EP – which includes the full version of Push – is available for purchase. A free copy of the EP is available online (mp3, FLAC). See the photos from the EP launch.
When putting together the first drafts for the album I instantly knew I wanted this to be more than just a demo EP. I really wanted to tell a story. When penning the lyrics for my own songs it’s very easy to be content because I’m so close to them. However, when writing the lyrics to represent Sonixtrip – it’s a different process all together. I need to keep in mind what the band and the music says throughout a set. Not only in terms of mood and energy, but also in terms of lyrical direction.
That in mind, and the EP being our first, we decided to serialise our releases. We are no more the actors in a movie, as we write the scenes for an act, to which we develop a story or play. We are the cast, and we have a supurb crew.
On a personal level AIEH deals with my struggles with addiction, relationships and internalising all of it. The lyrics of which have now all been published.
