With over 20 collaborations together, clearly you two enjoy working together. Describe how that process has evolved over time?

Kain: Well, we’ve definitely gotten much better at scheduling these things. For the first year and a bit, we’d just come up with an idea for a cover halfway through the month and then struggle to get it done. Now, we actually schedule and plan ahead for releases, sometimes six months in advance, so that we’re not rushing to get it done.

Psamathes: I think that also has changed once we started to license songs because we had to organize around the time needed to distribute the song. Also, we had to make time for anything that might come up with the distribution.

Furthermore, we understand each other better musically. We have much more fun doing these covers and experimenting with different instruments. If you look at the evolution throughout our series of covers, we’ve been using different instruments in very unexpected ways or adding lyrics to instrumental songs. We’ve been more daring in our approach to the arrangements.

Kain: Yeah, at some point, it escalated quite a lot from the first few videos where it was mainly just acoustic guitars. Now, it will be whatever weird things—on one occasion I used my door and some cutlery in the video. It’s just finding out what will work by winging it and hoping it does.

Psamathes: Definitely. And it did work so far, so we’re keeping up this way.

Have you ever had a significant musical disagreement?

Kain: Nothing major. There was only one time, when we were doing the Lost in Thoughts All Alone cover, we were just struggling to come up with a decent arrangement, and we almost cancelled it. But, then we sort of pushed through, and between the two of us, we managed to get something out.

Psamathes: Yeah, I think that was probably the toughest month we had in terms of arranging. So I would say when there’s room for disagreement, instead of actually disagreeing, we come even more together trying to make things as good as we can. We passed the test in a way.

Kain: Yeah, it came together nicely in the end. Other than that, we don’t really have any serious disagreements.

Psamathes: Yeah, there really isn’t anything to disagree with.
