Haven't been feeling very inspirational lately, but that's to be expected during times of shutting in. Trying to keep a sane head about it all and not let the dread and dwelling get to me.


I've been holding off putting this one up, but I've gotten to the point that i don't want to work on it anymore and have moved onto other tracks that I feel sound much better. I'm at over 40+ tracks I'm working on at a time, based on my moods and what inspiration I can gather that day. It's easy to start a track but harder to find out how to finish it.


About 3/4 through working on this track, i started messing with samples of alan watts and found the beginning of a lecture that i put into this one, however I'm still working on doing VOX correctly, so I don't expect to put this one in an album until I've redone the voice bits to sound better. But like I said, i lost my inspiration on this one and decided to upload it so i can remind myself to come back to it again later when i feel more inspired.

I realize this is a work-in-progress, but so far I think the piece has some depictions of mania that are clear and some that are not. Speaking from my own experience, the dissonance and timbre of some of the instruments are overstimulating and some parts are disproportionately big and grand in atmosphere, much like mania. In that regard, It's quite accurate IMO.

I will say this: to me the tempo is a bit slow and even and the instrumentation is not chaotic enough for when I think of mania. I get that people have different experiences, so I'll give this piece the benefit of the doubt, but I think a bit more chaos and overall tension throughout the piece could really help make the concept you are trying to present show more clearly.

I hope you find this review helpful. :)

Thanks for the insight and reccomendation, That gave me an idea that i could mess with percussion rolls while doing sharp tempo changes, ala Xploding Plastix style, if i get around to revisiting this one.
