Today, Enter Sceptre - the solo project and brainchild of Cascina Caradonna - share their second single "Tormentor" (following the release of debut single "Majesty" in January 2023). About the release, Cascina says: "I started with the line, 'you don’t know, where I go, my Tormentor' as the melody came to me during a stale class one morning. I wrote verse after verse in my notebook, nodding my head every so often to assure the teacher I was in agreement with her lecture. Back at home that night I began crafting the beat, pads and lead line for the instrumental bit. The bulk of the song made me want to dance, and was so upbeat and happy. There had to be more pain. I crafted an intro out of violins, and pretty soon had two completely separate songs on my hands. Transitioning from one section to the other was a complete accident as the delay effect on my vocals was being modulated as the tempo rose. The feedback of it in the silence was so good that I kept it as it was, and enjoyed the journey the song presented itself as. Touch, by Daft Punk was a huge influence for this song, and I loved that there was no definitive or repetitive structure binding its free expression. Thick bands of harmonies are my favorite meal, so every line of the song has at least 4 voices singing different notes. Although a shrieking 80’s guitar solo at the end is perhaps outdated, it’s not fair I hadn’t been born yet. Not my fault, enjoy." - Cascina Caradonna (Enter Sceptre) |
