BEHIND THE MIX
Josh has dedicated an incredible amount of time and focus to his music, and it’s finally paying off with his first official song release. Lifeforms Approaching…, under his artist name Leviathan Class, blends jazz influences with progressive metal. You can check it out on our SoundCloud here. Sharing his work with the group gives the youth a real example of what consistent effort and creativity can achieve.
Bret has been working closely with Josh on Leviathan Class’s next track, Reaper. After tracking bass, they experimented with samples and synths. Some ideas were planned, others were happy accidents :) Watch how Bret’s work is coming together with this behind-the-scenes series (pt. I, II, III, & VI). This gives our youth insight into the production process and shows exploring new sounds is part of creating music.
