So, this is a piece I made all the way back in 2008. It was part of an album that I had been actively working on between 2008 and 2010. I never finished the album because I never felt that it's quite good enough for any sort of release and any attempts to improve it seemed to only make it worse.

Clock of Ice is of great significance to me personally. I think it was pretty much the first piece I ever produced that I was genuinely proud of, that I gladly showed around to friends and family, that for a while made me believe that I have a bright future as a musician (at this point I'm pretty sure I don't). I think it's also my first composition I ever uploaded anywhere (namely to MySpace).

But why upload it here now, after all these years? The occasion is a very sad one. Today my greatest fan passed away: my father. During the last couple of days all sorts of sombre songs have been uncontrollably playing in my head. One of them was my own, namely Clock of Ice. I think it was my dad's favourite among all pieces I ever composed. It very much captures how I'm feeling right now and reminds me of all the support he has shown me over the years. I feel like uploading it today is a way of honouring him that he would appreciate.
