Embark on a journey through the musical cosmos as we dive into the creative mind of Dom Ultra, the visionary artist behind the upcoming album. From inspirations to production insights, we unravel the mysteries behind the beats that define his unique sound.
Your music has a distinctive and captivating sound. Can you share some of the key inspirations that fueled the creation of your upcoming album, offering listeners a glimpse into the creativity at play?
I would definitely say that I feel like the music I wear my inspirations on my sleeve. Im a big Bon Iver and Kanye guy. But my favorite rappers are like Roc Marciano, Earl Sweatshirt, Theravada. People like that. I really enjoy the alternative scene. Especially like the Folk and electronic scene. I like James Blake a lot. I just sample the stuff I like for the most part.
Crafting an album is a labor of love. Could you shed some light on how long it took to bring this project to life and the artistic process involved in its creation?
It took about two years technically. But realistically since i started because I was tryna just find a unique style and sound. It really came together during a dark time. I was listening to my old demos and I found an album in that. Most of it at least.
Speaking of singles, could you walk us through the ones that have already been released and provide a sneak peek into what listeners can expect from those yet to come?
I just released a single called DAYSINBOSTON. It’s a lot of that kind of stuff. Folk and Rap. Just another alternative rap album basically.
Your previous EP ‘Ill get to you later’ showcased a unique sonic identity. How does the upcoming album build upon or diverge from the themes explored in your last EP, and what can fans anticipate in terms of musical evolution?
If you heard the last song Southside, I really delved further into those kinds of sounds. Just a more polished version you could say. My raps are a little different now as well. Different stories I want to tell.
Can you take us behind the scenes and share some details about the production process, collaborations, or unique techniques that contributed to the distinctive sound of this upcoming album?
I have been clearing samples and getting the last touches done on the album. We’re almost there! I didn’t do a lot. I just used what I had. Next album I wanna do more around samples and try experimenting more on the next. But this album here is my healing journey so I hope it can relate to people in a similar way.
