Hey! I'm Carlos from the project The World We Have, and I would like to write about something important in my life: Music. In September 2017, I came back to normal after an amazing experience in Italy. In that moment I met Mampra, an old friend, and we started talking about music. After 10 minutes, I was already regretting not having brought my guitar with me. In that moment, without even having a name yet, Coudy Contrast was born. We quickly started playing together and after just a few weeks, we felt the impulse to record our music. Impulse was precisely the name of our first creation together.
Since the beginning, a core value of the band has been doing everything by ourselves. That requires a lot effort and work. From the inspiration to write the music and the lyrics, the collaboration to arrange the musical production, the money and will to record our music at home to the knowledge and learning process to mix and master all our songs. After one year making music, we stopped. I guess the urgency to experiment or express ourselve through music was satisfied for a while, and it was also a busy time for our professional careers. We didn't agree on stopping, it just happened the same way we started.
We were moving to different countries. The only certainty was that we wanted to make music. Half a year later, and with its members 2500 km away from each other, Coudy Contrast is now at its best. Half a year later, we have released 4 of our songs remastered, 3 acoustic videos, and 4 brand new songs. All this without a single meeting in person. With its members 2500 km away from each other, Coudy Contrast is now at its best. We have developed a continuous and efficient online workflow, and we are always working in new songs. The creative process is easy and smooth, and developing our music is fun. Writing songs has always been something important to me. Now, thanks to sharing that introverted process with someone that values and feels identified with some of the feelings I write about, I am more confident to express myself and way more satisfied with the result. I am learning to overthink less and share more. Coudy Contrast is never static. We may live in different countries and have different experiences. But we want our music to follow our path and let it talk by itself. We will go on making music. During ups and specially during downs. Because rollercoasters are meant to be fun.
