Techy or Reality Skewed Into Tiny Fragments

from 2 Smargaid Maerd by mr_mark_dollin

about

Despite having a relatively simple electronic plod and repetitive bass/chord core, “Techy” was a bit of a ‘no bars held’ experimental piece, and composed very fast. The spoken word at the start was recorded in one take, and is complete stream of consciousness. I was intending to get into the narrative of a common dream situation I experience, including weird architecture and incessantly traveling south to Sydney. A clean distant guitar improvisation was laid over the sequence of the song blowing itself up into two re-buffered and pitched layers (using Transverb). Morphing from dry to wet I dubbed up the ending with atmospheric delay. The familiar is blasted out into strange aurora.

lyrics

Annihilation comes in the strangest ways because often you are walking in the moment where you are watching yourself follow that direction because you need to go south but that does not matter because your legs do not move fast enough and the river water is warm and there is always indication in the sway of the trees that it is afternoon in the dim light of a staircase that goes nowhere / I see me / As well as you and I think I will follow you because it feels good like diving in warm water and playing every note perfect like Scott saying something he's speaking and I can't hear his voice so I rub my eyes oh no not again get back on the highway or we'll never get to Sydney.
