Couldn’t help myself, we just had all those nice instruments sitting there, and who doesn’t love a reprise.
During 2002 and 2003, I curated a number of video “shows” in Portland. At first they were all at Bar of the Gods, and so I wrote a theme song (and produced a video). A bit tongue in cheek.
Contract work for NASA. Expected to be part of the first manned trip to Mars.
This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Abandoned demo, perhaps rightfully so.
