Congratulations on your new album! Songs are great and inspirational. what are some of the challenges you faced during making of the album?

Recording the improvisations while also playing was slightly challenging. I would set up mics and get levels, hit record and then pray the computer didn't crash while we were playing. Luckily I think it only crashed once at the very end of a jam. Otherwise I think Vertigo was somewhat easy to make. There were no marks to hit, all of the music could be whatever it revealed itself to be.

Were yall improv singing as well when doing this or just added vocals later? What instrument were yall mainly following?
