Atonal isn’t usually your thing… but you do it well. Like the “vaguely chaotic traffic” vibe to this, and it fits the theme well.

I hang out with Haskel. He plays a lot of outside free-improv jazz. Between him and Speck I am developing a taste for the experimental! Thanks so much for listening and appreciating the vibe.

Arranging was a challenge because Haskel played a lot between his three guitar parts. His stems have more notes than I used here.

Ah, the sung version. Here your voice provides not only meaning but a melody and tone that fits and fills perfectly. Naturally. Very nice.

thanks again — I appreciate that you listened to both versions (the dilemma of indecision… .)

Wonderfully cool, atmospheric mixing of contributions from rocavaco, Darkroom and Haskel. Love your trippy vocal and words but I’d like to hear them much more up front in the mix!

thanks — the source material was a challenge to wrangle but really fun to work with

I have to agree with AB on the atonal. Haskel always plays outside the box. Super stuff.

I really envisioned this track as a bit of a showcase for Haskel and the unique thing he does — thanks

Atonal? Sorry, not getting that.

Loving this! Both versions. But I do believe I have a preference for the sung. Your delivery is just really cool… the fast singing… man, everything is really fitting here… sonically and lyrically. I like this a while lot.
