“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

We Are Paradox

Key 53

Perpetual Emotion Machine

from Glory

2007

This track was written during the first stages of writing for Omega, and it was a return to a kind of trip-hop vibe. Everything was based around the chord/pad sample that is first heard. I was playing around with varying and increasing intensity throughout the song throughout several sessions and this resulted in a track that was more than 14 minutes. This was divided into three obvious parts and disbursed throughout the Glory album.

I suppose the idea for this was to listen to the song while the sun is slowly rising.

Lock 5300

Labour Day

Perpetual Emotion Machine

The original sketch of this song, which was completed during the Omega sessions in 2006. Was more of a dance piece (similar to the eventual Non Sequitur #2) Lots of parts in here that later got cut and not used.
