Embryonic Infinity

about

This song was one of the last to be made in ’03 late in the year, and the last of the experiments in the long-form style. Taking a lot of the emotional tension of the year and all the previous music I wanted to create some sort of long moment of atmosphere, joy, pain and infinite absolution. Like going fetal or dreaming in some sort of sad bliss duality. Out of low murky weather sounds I started with two looped drones of voice, making a minor third. A low slow sine sub-bass rolls in to frame the emotional pivoting points of the progression: 4th, 6th, 7th and then 1st. Flicking nervous strings eventually floating in a straight ahead improv holding up the somber mood. Slowly it all builds with new layers, each heralded by a new chord note re-pitching of one of my drone voices. This sounds slightly odd, and a little like an annoying mosquito at the peak. The density increases and crescendos in slow motion over the last chord sequence, only to abruptly end with one of the re-pitched drones hanging in your ear like an unwanted bug in your ear as you’ve just woken up from a dream. Here ends the unconsciousness.
