How Annelida Wrote an EP Live on Twitch & VYB: Using Streaming to Show Music Creation Process

Plenty of musicians have taken to streaming ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, as a way to deliver their music and their experience through the internet that still has some form of consistent connection to the fans. We have seen Ronnie Radke in Falling in Reverse, Matt Heafy in Trivium, Ryan Kirby in Fit For A King, and many more do something like this. But have they ever live streamed the album creation process? It is a way for the fans to get a first hand look at how an artist would make a song, how a song evolves from beginning to end, and what tools might be used to create all of this. It is something that we really never see anyone else do, but we found an artist that is doing just that. Kevin from the experimental band Annelida joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. After Kevin streamed the writing and song creation process for the band's Unencumbered EP in March of 2026, we dive into this episode with: How Annelida used livestreaming on Twitch and VYB to show the songwriting process, giving people a more in depth look to the songwriting process & how a song changes over time. The reason why Annelida streams on multiple platforms all at once with the creation process & with live shows, to continue giving access and connection to their fans. Why Annelida is considered "experimental metal" to be the weird band on Manic Kat Records, and not ever have the pressure to fit in. A very interesting conversation from start to finish.
