Crawl_Space:
This song was written in the dead of night. I was partly motivated by the desire to create something full, something new and exciting, although I've been patient and rather meticulous with my other project in the works. Crawl_Space was a spur of the moment song. Created in one sitting, one concept, one idea, one moment to give birth to sound. The concept behind the piece? Well, I'd been driving around Perth, this city that is still very unfamiliar to me. I was tired, lost, surrounded by a blur of traffic and night city lights. The music was a dull progressive house beat. The only way to describe the actual feeling would be like my brain was being cleaved neatly in two, but there was no feeling, just a numb afterthought that something strange has been happening.
I also take inspiration from a new electro duo from Sydney, Bag Raiders. Their music is more upbeat and energetic, but their swelling and surging "Indie House" beats have influenced me heavily. I'd probably describe my song as a blend of sameness and strangeness, and while I'm still heavily lethargic, I enjoyed the time I spent making this track. Listen, vote, review, talk to me, tell me what you think, and maybe I'll spend 2009 continuing in the right musical direction.
