about

The chord shapes for this came about from experiments with a gadget known as a spider capo, which provides the ability to capo individual strings, creating a new tuning.
Being a fairly rhythmically driven track (although also very freestyle/freetime, no click track was ever used as in the beginning I had no percussive intention) it was a fitting opportunity to record in my brother on his electronic drum kit. It was a first time experiment tracking in the electronic kit, & I'm pleased overall with how it turned out.

lyrics

Learn to interact with the space around you
It’s more often for the driver to fail the machine.
Being rather than doing or can’t quite remember yet
You can move through now & still be with now…

Ok I think, just a little solemn these days.
Ok I think, just a little solemn these days.

Aggressive power trundles in my ears
Helping to stoke the fire within
The energy crawling under my skin.

Searching for something to say
To distract the analytical thinking I hear
The flow seems broken starting but choking my skin starts to sear…

Ok I think, just a little solemn these days.
Ok I think, just a little solemn these days.
