This song was an absolute joy to write, its my favorite song I created for the album. Its heavily inspired by the works of Disasterpeace as well as other ambient style electronic mussic producers. It utilizes two chords, in two similar modes. Those two dual modes, Ionian/Major and Dorian, create an interesting motion for the song, while never actually moving anywhere, because of the lack of any traditional functional harmony. (TL;DR for the non-music nerds, the song feels open and spacey because it lacks the chord-to-chord motion created by a traditional chord structure.) All in all I think this song came out great, and I got a chance to utilize some music principles I've never really experimented with before.
