about

For the last track on the album, I decided to pay homage to the classical music I grew up listening to. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for the genius of Beethoven, Strauss, Liszt and Tchaikovsky - especially the latter.

This track was also created while I was doing shadow work. Carl Jung defined the shadow archetype as the dark and emotional side of one's personality or psyche. It involves doing a lot of spiritual healing. As a result, this track also pays homage to my younger self.

But I also wanted to incorporate something new, so I added a drum kit, a recurring synth line. and an electric guitar to, what would otherwise be, a standard classical track.

I suffered from a heavy stammer growing up, but learned to control it as I got older. I wanted to address that on the album in some way. So I wrote a poem dedicated to the joys of sound and speech and read it at the end.

lyrics

O, sound
Helpless noise of wonder
So heavy it comes.

Yes, it comes running
Through cliffs and rolling valleys.
O, I stand in awe
of fullness in sound motion.

I find you within forests and trees
Under craggy rock, compression.
Constricting and constructing
new glaciers of sound.

I find you
In the halls of my father’s house
That rhythm of speech that bounces
Wall to wall

O, sound
In your name, I honour thee!
