Perpetual Emotion Machine<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

from The Unforetold<\/a> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2009<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nirasha<\/strong> was another inspiration from Juno Reactor<\/strong>, particularly Pistolero <\/em>and various tracks from Bible of Dreams<\/em> (I originally called Desperado<\/strong>, but it was too obvious). I like this one a lot because it has this illusion of being almost two time signatures at once — You think it’s one timing, then the percussion happens and your perception of it changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Nirasha<\/em>‘ is a Hindi word ( \u0928\u093f\u0930\u093e\u0936\u093e) meaning despair. <\/strong><\/em>I don’t remember any specific despair at the time I wrote this song, but it was definitely a rough period. I wanted something aggressive and beautiful at the same time. I also wanted something ethnic sounding. I plagiarized myself and used the same chord progression from Seven Minute Armada<\/a><\/strong>, but just added a little bit extra to resolve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demo version is a rougher mix, has less piano in it, a different guitar sample, some percussion that later disappeared and a different reso-sound in the middle section than the final version. The final version is much fuller. Both have a rather cold ending that I’ve always been kind of unhappy with, but have grown used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version was completed just before the album release, but there were some parts in it that I later removed. Unreleased.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
