ALL LIFE’s CREATIVE PROCESS

started sometime before the first studio session happened. It started with the idea to collaborate together at some point in time after a live show NOEL IS and NuBreezeProject had previously done together. Track forward a year or so, we got together in St. Wendel, Germany and started to build the album. There was Mario on the bass, Johannes on the electric guitar, NuBreeze on the drums, DJ Mandal on the decks, and NOEL IS the lyricist.

The first session began in March 2026, where we all met and got directly to the start of building the first song. NuBreeze set the musical direction from the start to the end of the creative processes of each song, and collectively the music was made and that finalised with a 21 track album.

The lyrics were written at the same time the instrumentals were coming together. There was no specific direction in terms of what was being written and what was felt is what was written. Whilst the instruments were building, the words came to what resonated. The process of the written lyrics stayed the same throughout the album being made. After each song was instrumentally complete, we would run 3 or 4 complete takes with the lyrics recorded live and take a listen later and move onto the next song to be made. The first session with the band was 3 days and 10 songs written and recorded. 

The second time we all met for session two was in April 2026 and we just continued to vibe along as when we were last together. There never felt like there was a break in the time before we started to build again. The collaboration took the same creative process as when we previously last met. This time around we worked 4 days and 11 songs were written and recorded.

The ALL LIFE band name came at some point later after the album was made but was circulating between us all for some time before the final name was set.
