“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

PERPETUAL EMOTION MACHINE

2009 Single

This was the second EP to be released from The Unforetold. It is made longer by the inclusion of the companion suite The 905, which is the antithesis of Track 1 of the album. Apart from that, there are two remixes of the single and a non-album track which, for all intents and purposes, is a demo and a track I have worked on perfecting since I released this.

The Jamix is not live, per se, as the piano piece was recorded earlier and then applied, unedited, to the remix of the song, which was played at a different tempo, this creating a strange synergy

In 2023, in an effort to play this song live, I had to reconstruct the song from scratch, including the vocals, as the original files were corrupt. While I was doing it, I added the piano part that I had intended to the first time around. These reduxxed versions, along with remastered version of the other single tracks, were released to my BandCamp in 2023 as FOB36.
