this is two things. the introductory synth section was created independently as the introduction to a theoretical third demo (which became deny everything). i had also already decided to compile the covers disc and ended up using it for an introduction to this cover of hummer, instead. so i lost the section. ive regretted letting the part go a few times since. and, going this route factored into the decision to include the first two tracks (which are not covers). anyways... the rest of it is actually two different approaches to the same thing. i ended up using them both by stringing them together rather than one or the other. i was also feeling trapped in the covers project, generally. this is something that took a huge amount of time and energy. why wasnt i applying that towards original material? the samples at the end are meant to represent me breaking free of myself, and letting myself loose to get back to my own ideas. so i could live again. i plead guilty to all counts of being a drama queen. i also ended up co-opting the song, mildly. i focused solely on the instrumental part in the second half of the track, which has a very carefree quality to it. its not explicitly about rejecting war. but it fits. musically, for the second part, i need to weight two tendencies. first, it was consciously meant to have this silly fake-jazz strut to it. second, i was clearly more interested in free jamming than composing anything with structure. its a weird juxtaposition that sounds kind of dorky. sometimes, you have to begin analyzing something by determining whether it accomplished its goal or not. i feel this did, but the intent was admittedly unusual. jasonparent.bandcamp/track/07-hummer
