Guitar, Ableton Muhr
Qigon

The main elements of the track originated from one of my first own compositions back in 2006. Back then this was only one of the melodies and the chords. I did a rework in 2009, but this time I tried using some sort of self-similarity.
The track basically consists of five 'blocks'. In the first one the main chord progression is played (Emadd9, C#7b5, Dmmaj7, Bmadd9), and in each following block this progression is transposed according to the chords in Emadd9 , (so the second block has the chord progression Bmadd9,...; the third block: F#madd9,...; fourth: Gmadd9,...; fifth: Bmadd9).
In a similar way I've used the second chord of the original progression to get a more interesting timpani track. It's main notes follow the chord progressions but once per block it plays notes from the C#7b5 chord.
Similarly the remaining chords arise throughout the track (but I would have to check my notes to see what and where exactly because the last few weeks I was working on the production side of this whole thing to make it sound alright ).

Also I played around with a bit of ideas regarding symmetry in song structure.
