Behind the Screens: I Know

Hi everyone!

We released our new song 'I Know' on Soundcloud a while back, and we wanted to give you peeps a little insight into the way we write our songs. You see, they go through many phases. Sometimes they get scrapped after a few weeks because we don't like them, and then a couple of months later we'll find them again and suddenly see lots of potential we didn't see before. Our songs undergo many changes. For instance, we wrote 'Simplify' in early 2015, but we've been remixing it and it sounds quite different now. Check our instagram for a little preview of that!

So! We wanted to give you a little 'behind the screens' with Tall and Tiny. We could show you what was actually on our screens, but that might not make a lot of sense to you. That's why we're not going to show you, but we're going to let you listen! Below are some of the phases 'I Know' underwent. We started working on it in March 2016, and finished it about a month ago. Without further ado, let's do this!

1st Version The first version was instrumental and totally different from what it eventually became. However, you'll hear some parts that might sound familiar.



2nd Version This second version is so weird to hear once you've gotten used to the finished one. In this version, vocals were added. However, the lyrics as well as the melody are entirely different. Everything was recorded very quickly, just so we wouldn't forget our ideas. It isn't mastered or decently recored, but you have an idea of where we were going with this. Also, note how it used to be 'Oh no' instead of 'I Know' isn't that hilarious?



3rd Version The third version might sound more recognizable already. We kind of scrapped everything, but kept the basics. The beat was still a bit boring though, and the mix was still very flat. But no worries, we were getting there..



And then here we are, the final version! After weeks (...months? Felt like years.) of mastering we finally felt happy about the song and decided to publish it. Here it is!


So, did you like this little overview? Let us know what you think!

Lots of love,
Tnt

A Quick Resolution Check

Ho ho ho and Happy 2017 everyone!

We wanted to come back to our hopes and resolutions from last year. Let's revise shall we?

1. Level up at least twice this year

We're pretty sure we've aced this one. I mean, we've definitely grown in many ways. Our music got better, we've become healthier, we're making progress study/career-wise... Level up: check!

2. Get new superpowers and new gear

A new recording microphone and a Maschine mk2: check!

3. Increased health and mana + stamina boost

Well, we've been eating pretty healthily (what an impossible word to type) and have been exercising (another hard word omg) regularly. So I'm pretty sure we're good here.

4. The year of supergirls in fly capes

Definitely! Feminism is all the rage again, and there was actually a tv-series about supergirl on CBS. Also, we released a song for International Women's Day!

5. Contribute to world peace

Well, our feminist song was a good start, right?

6. Get a press release

Our song was played on a local radio station and we got to do a little interview, so check! Though we want to go bigger next year!

7. Finally know what happened to John Snow.

Check that.

8. May scientists reveal that candy is just like a healthy meal

Well, we might not be there yet, but at least this is good news.

9. Make Tall and Tiny action figure toys

Darn, didn't do this yet! Maybe move this one over to next year?

10. Watch the new Star Wars

Even though this was still in 2015, it was awesome. And Rogue One was awesome!

11. New TNT songs

Yes! Finally! Click here to listen!

So hey, we didn't do a bad job! Hooray! Now let's make 2017 awesome AF.
