The music itself is densely layered. The opening and ending statements are simple enough, but these short performances provide the basis for the lengthy middle section. Here, samples from the opening and ending are stretched, reversed and crushed into oblivion, and combined with parts recycled from several of my previous piano releases, slowly building to a climax. Hopefully, the detailed layering leaves you wanting more even after the full 19 minutes.]]> https://soundcloud.com/intros_pections/introspections-podcast-presents-tore-aune-fjellstad-012

And it is.

This track was originally made in Impulse Tracker on January 3rd, 1997. For ages I've been thinking that i ought to reuse some of those old samples and do a remake, and here it is! While it may not entirely warrant the long waiting period, it's sure good to hear a more accomplished version of a track I made back way back when.

The sample(s) opening and ending the track have always been a mystery to me, evoking underwater scenery and the low hum of a bathysphere engine. Taking that as a starting point, I eventually made a slow, meandering and meditative track with the middle section repeating itself almost hypnotically. The original ran a full 14 minutes, this version a more conservative 10 - slicing a lot away from the original and adding a slightly more dynamic second half.

Incidentally, if anyone can identify where the opening sample is taken from (I appropriated the sample from an old .it file, lineage unknown), I'd be very happy to be pointed in the right direction.

Enjoy! Hopefully.]]>

Original composition date unknown, although I'm pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken place before March 1992.

The opening cadence is an obvious rip-off of the Accept song "Breaking up Again" from the 1981 album Breaker, and the finger placement is taken directly from Beatles' "Blackbird". I probably played around trying to learn those songs and unwittingly stumbled across something new.

This version was played on a simple steel 6-string, tuned two steps down to D.

The music somehow conjured images of wide, rolling plains, long grass swaying in the wind. My only experience of such vistas is from Red Dead Redemption, and this music is also something of a homage to all the hours I've spent there, exploring the wilderness of Cholla Springs and Rio Bravo.
