Recorded this song one evening late night. Set up the shot and pressed record. Used first takes only for guitar, keys, bass, drums and trumpet. Just chopped the jam coz it went for over 6 minutes. I was looking at the stars before the drum takes and some words and melody popped in my head.
I use my Genjutsu time bend illusory resample technique on this joint. This technique was influenced by Itachi Uchiha's 'Tsukuyomi', I heard the sound in my head and made a chain in max for live to create the sound. Made it during covid times, in lockdown and been using it live for over 3 years this the first released recording of it utilised in a song. I have made a number of other recordings exploring this new style in greater depth, before this track.
While primarily influenced by anime, it's similar or builds upon studio techniques first utilised on Hendrix albums. Conceptualised in a different way, giving more control of time parameters in real time. Live, I use it to spontaneously create new displaced improvised sections, creating a new groove, which works great with a rhythm section to explore new directions. Used it at my live set for the launch of Live 12 this year, with Maru (drums) and Waari (bass).
Lyrics: 'I had a vision, said it was the future, descended from the stars, planted in a dream'.
