Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

I have always believed that Frost and Clockwork, an earlier track of mine, was a good concept wasted on sub-par production. For that reason, I’ve made numerous variations on that concept ever since. Timekeeper, with its tongue-in-cheek former title Ice Horologue, is perhaps the most fully-realised variation

It features the “Never Gonna Give You Up progression” that I’ve become mildly infamous for overusing. That progression represents a very particular mood to me, shaped by Vanessa Carlton’s A Thousand Miles rather than Rick Astley’s classic. (Prepare to find out over the course of this booklet just how big of a fan I am of mainstream pop.)

The character in the illustration to the left is the first of a few track gijinka that I’ve designed for this album. They’re some sort of deity whom I refer to as the Timekeeper, a being in charge of keeping the inner mechanisms of time well-oiled and running.

SPECIAL THANKS
