Canned Corner: “Mother”
(aka. Music that didn’t quite make it. Since I’m not updating enough amma talk more about cancelled tracks you may have heard snippits of a while back but never appeared on any album)
Aah “Mother”, this one was conceived back around Vol. 9 as a Rose track, originally under the assumption that post-scratch Rose would be important and act as a kind of parallel to Rose’s Mom pre-scratch. As usual this wasn’t the case, and instead she surfed out on a blaze of glory and ICP related shenanigans.
“Mother” was basically planned as post-scratch Harlequin, but with flavours of Ms. Lalonde. As such, it’s essentially Aggrieve in the style of Harlequin. Then it’s blended more with my usual weird Chiptune-with-bits-of-orchestra thing. The net result is kind of a more mystical, studious piece.
I kinda like it, but it doesn’t really do anything, and its only original bits are abandoned fairly quickly due to the shortness of the track. Plus when it became apparent that post-scratch Rose has pretty much no influence on the plot, it was brushed to one side and I started on something else.
