about

This was the most complex track on the album and took the longest time to record - almost 5 months - and if you have a listen you’ll understand why; there’s nearly every tuned percussion instrument in existence featured on it. It also took a lot of beg borrowing and stealing by Dominic to access to studio time and use some of the more obscure instruments. The different parts then had to be painstakingly compiled and stitched together at Dom’s home studio.


It all began with the tentative, stop/start bass section, a few drones and filter effects that you hear at the beginning. I then handed that to Dom with a few loose suggestions about melody and structure and he came up with the rest. The initial results featured quite rigid parts for the instruments but he eventually improvised quite a lot of it.
