Artist commentary:
Beau Brian: (composer, booklet commentary)
I made this song really just to familiarize myself with a more amateur side of EDM, and to just use a few Time motifs (Gentle Heat just made its way in there when I got stuck). At the time that I made it it was one of the many electronic tracks I had attempted in a short time, but one of the only ones of any merit.
I have a weird relationship with electronic music, and this song is an example of that, too. For a pretty decent amount of time I didn't even consider myself an electronic musician; sure, I used virtual instruments, but my main genre was (and still kinda is) pretty undecided. That said, when I tried to make electronic stuff, the plan and the outcome always differed a lot, but not as much in a quality way as a stylistic one. Still for this song, unlike a lot of others, I decided to keep it despite it being different from what I was going for.
