this is another track that i wrote in the old place, so that would have
been probably in 1995. it's one of those songs that becomes increasingly
complex over time, as more parts are added to it. in that sense, it's
maybe not one song so much as it is many songs crammed together into one
song. i remember rewriting the tabs over and over as i expanded the
song's complexity.
that said, i also did a lot of effects-based improvisation in the
process of recording this track. that is to say that the notes were
written when i started but the end result really wasn't. this track also
features some synthesizer work which required me to sneak into my
sister's room to record, as well as a slowed down recording of a toilet
filling up. this is my first use of both technique.
the lyrics to this song were also largely improvised and shouldn't be
read much into. the lyrics for the chorus have been sitting around for a
while, but i never found a good way to expand them into an actual song.
stuff just ended up coming out, at the last minute kind of thing.
that said, i had a lot of fun with this track and i hope i'm able to make more music like this in the future.
