I've been going over some bits and pieces I started in 2023 and looking for things that are worth finishing. 2023 was a weird year for me musically, with a good chunk of my creativity going towards making music for a theatre show; some of that stuff may end up being re-used in some future releases.

But anyway, there are a few things I worked on last year that I have little to no recollection of. This is one of them lol. It started as a modular improvisation in 2018, strangely. Last year I added some synths and organ, and just now added some drums and did some mastering (ie. ran the whole thing through saturation). The drums are maybe a bit too busy, but I wanted to go for a vibe of some of the doom metal bands I used to see frequently in 2010, where there was often so much time in between guitar notes that the drummer would add a bunch of fills just to keep the momentum going.

Also I couldn't be bothered playing guitar on it because I spent so long rehearsing and writing stuff for the gig I played last Sunday that I can't bear to even look at a guitar for a while. So it might be a little pause on my rock/punk songs for a few weeks lol.
