“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

2006

The bones of this were put together in 2006 while I was working on Omega, but it never really progressed beyond a basic idea back then; just a chord progression and some percussion. In my mind I always had it in my head to be an epic trance opener to an album, using my standard quiet-to-aggressive buildup technique, but I could never figure out a way to end it.

I attempted to redo this a few times since then, with the most work being done in 2019, but it never really felt complete until 2021. At that time, I was looking to put together a new Perpetual Emotion Machine album, which also still hasn’t come to fruition.
