Delusions of Grandeur

A good week but a weird week... I procrastinated til Saturday but was prepared to wake up at a reasonable time to start working on this week's track. My cat had other ideas. She is known for waking me up in the morning either for an empty food dish or because she's hacking up something. At around 5am I awoke to the GAK_GAK_GAK alarm from the cat potentially throwing up somewhere. I must have been half dreaming because my lower half made the movement to get out of bed and my brain decided to let it handle such a maneuver on it's own. KABOOM!, I went as I lost my footing and fell onto the litter box (thankfully it has a cover). Then I proceeded to sigh in a high register (ala Peter Griffin) as I realized my whole right leg had road rash. I stupidly had my old iMac sitting up against the foot of my bed. So I basically deli sliced my leg on the way too sharp monitor frame.
Moral of this long story? Uh don't hold onto old useless computers? Let the cat puke?
Well I was feeling pretty beat from the not so good start and thankfully my brain woke up for a few ambient chords (which you hear in the opening). This was originally going to be a quiet ambient noodle but after listening to it before I went to sleep Saturday night I had delusions of an Orchestra (mainly some Brass) changing it up a little.
I didn't want to work on anything most of Saturday but then that last minute fresh listen right before bed turned into me adding 15 more tracks til 5am instead of the one brass track I was imagining.
Sooooo YAY INSPIRATION!
