Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

Speaking of Celtic-inspired new age music…

Chariot is about the sun. The title references the god Helios, and the track itself is a riff on the structure and style of Reel Around the Sun, one of my favourite works of music, with a spacey touch introduced by the glitching.

The art was initially created not for Chariot, but for a different track that was meant to be on this album, but which I am unable to release. I think the subject matters are similar enough that the image still fits. (I like making music about space, surprise surprise.)

For those to whom this makes sense: Chariot is technically in the D-sharp Aeolian dominant scale, but I like to think of it as being in D-sharp minor with the tonic triad always being borrowed from D-sharp major.
