BLOOD, SWEAT & CHEERS
What compelled us to create an album via Twitch livestreams?
Picture this. You've managed to avoid every conventional crumb of music industry advice on your way to score a European record deal to release a concept album inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. The powers that be have selected a release date to kick off the decade and have selected the launch date of your culminating project ....March 13, 2020. What do you do next?
​
If you're Double Experience, you install Open Broadcasting Software and get busy. From their very first live stream until present day, viewers from all around the world have been invited to request music, offer creative input, and watch their songs morph from earnest acoustic demos to fully produced, award-nominated (nerd) rock songs.
Every track on "Undefeated" was written during a 2-year span involving monthly songwriting and demo creations. From fortune cookies to artificial intelligence, various chaotic catalysts resulted in decidedly "rough" drafts that necessitated fan input and teachable songwriting insight. Fitting then, that Double Experience continues to lead creative workshops everywhere from high schools, to Ottawa Comic Con.
​
This album would not be possible without the financial contributions of the very folks who tuned in stream after stream in support of Double Experience. Words fail to properly express how proud we are of this music.
