Requiem

HOUNDTRACK

Notes


A sonic walk through a cave on an unfamiliar planet. I wrote this song having been inspired by experimental bass musicians like Tsuruda and Thook. In particular, I love how both artists use a combination of space, simplicity, and distortion in their instrumental storytelling. I also find beauty in sharply contrasted sections of melodic vs. atonal elements. Add in some dub vocal samples and we're in business. You'll find the first half to be a more sparse stroll, whereas the second half has a rushed timewarp feel. This is the sixth song on my album Last Chance At Life. Each song is part of a larger story in which three friends leave a ravaged Earth behind in search of a new planet. On 'Requiem' one of the members of the crew, Omar, stumbles across the remains of his grandfather while exploring through a cave. Omar's grandfather had mysteriously vanished years before after claiming to have discovered a new planet. No one in his family had ever really believed in his mission besides Omar, so the discovery of his bones was both redeeming and heart-wrenching.
