The answer is “Yes”.  The answer is “Maybe you’re missing the point. You were too self absorbed.”  As self-absorbed as you were afraid to be. Does the opening spoil or set the scene? The answer is “Yes.” The answer is “Maybe you’re missing the point. You were too self-absorbed.” Does the opening spoil or set the scene? If you’re lost a map won’t, Help. You can lead from the crowd! You can lead from the crowd! Do we build the opening first or last? Do we build the opening first or last? Do we make the opening?

Don’t you know,  being a “First Mover,” is only - half - of the answer? You have to be late enough,  as well. These are the chains of habit. Once we feel them, it’s too late. You’ve been holding on too tight, for too long You’ve been holding on too tight,  for too long.

“Luck is a dividend, of sweat.” “Motivation, at the level, of skill.” “Sense of place.” I have also ( - ), I have also ( - ), I have also ( - ), Does it work better, as a landscape? This ground we have in common, is only an island. This ground we have in common, will Become Ocean. Is it better as a landscape? “Money for nothing” is a short-term risk. “Money for money is short-term risk.”

Last Gesture 03:16
At the end of the Working Hour, do we feel owed? When the tide’s out, - What do we see when the tide’s out? There’s no place you won’t feel invited to. Would only, once again, mimic the thing what brought the storm. There’s no place, you won’t feel invited to.

Somewhere in the year after the Constant Light demo, Ben and I collected apple GarageBand(hereafter GB) demos. I think we felt so excited by the freedom of GB, and not having to think about the minute things, that we quickly ended up with 13 or so songs, and went WOAH, slow down.

These songs were all quite different from Constant Light, and weren’t lining up with a full-band situation. Collaboration is amazing, but I get overstimulated quickly, and a one-on-one focused collaboration helps me more than I ever knew it could. Like many, the Pandemic taught me a lot. Ben was really finding his voice around the time of these demos, and has since already recorded a couple of secret albums for down the line. He has the same mania.

We culled all that material down to 4 songs that felt like they told a story, and the themes presented themselves.

As the music over the course of the Compost-Turn lead to a conclusion, we ask ourselves. What is the difference, if you just use your ears? What is synthesized, and what is played live? Does it matter? Are there high falutin’ music concepts here? Does it matter? Did you get there on accident or through theory? It doesn’t matter.
