Hello everyone! this was written in the month of march for a chips compo themed "Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's Oblique Strategies"!

Basically we had to spin a wheel and use the strategies presented to us.

Anyways, here's the prompts I got and how I used them. 1. Simple Subtraction. (used primarily in determining the rhythms, and some of the intervals.) 2. Cascades (lots of cascading melodic ideas and arps) 3. Question the Heroic Approach (the reason I wrote this song, but also some of the theming.)

This is genuinely one of the most emotional I've ever been towards one of my own tracks, as it is based on real life. Thanks as always for chips for being great :)
